[Intracameral fibrin glue in spontaneous corneal perforation].

Abstract

CASE REPORT:

A 70-year-old male was referred to our department due to a herpetic corneal perforation in the left eye. The perforation was healed with intracameral fibrin tissue sealant (Tissucol(®)), an amniotic membrane, and a large diameter soft contact lens. Postoperatively there were complete dissolution of the fibrin sealant and closure of the perforation without endothelial damage.

DISCUSSION:

Intracameral fibrin glue may be effective in the closure of corneal perforations.
