| Abstract;A 58-year-old woman presented with hyperemia, discharge and blurred vision in her right eye. She had been diagnosed with chronic rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 27 years, and had been treated with systemic cortico-steroid. She had been diagnosed with maxillary sinusitis and been given antibiotics since 10 weeks before. Her right eye showed peripheral thinning and corneal perforation with iris prolapse. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) showed inflammatory mass in the right maxillary sinus and defect in the orbital floor. Inflammatory process had extended to the intraorbital tissue. She was treated by additional systemic antibiotics, topical corticosteroid, and therapeutic con-tact lens. Lamellar keratoplasty was performed after surgery for maxillary sinusitis. Long-term presence of rheuma-toid arthritis and maxillary sinusitis appear to have induced corneal perforation. (author abst.) |
