| Abstract;A 49-year-old male presented with scleritis in both eyes and corneal ulcer in the right. He has developed knee swelling leading to the diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis. He had been under treatment with systemic corticosteroid and immunosuppressive agents. He developed scleromalacia perforans with vitreous prolapse in the left eye 22 months after initially seen by us. The perforated sclera was immediately covered by autogenous fascia lata grafting. The right eye underwent similar treatment for scleromalacia one month later. The postoperative course has been uneventful without recurrence of inflammation during the follow up for 11 months. This case illustrates the effectiveness of autogenous fascia lata grafting for severe scleromalacia perforans secondary to Wegener's granulomatosis. (author abst.) |
