[Cyanoacrylate tissue gluing in corneal perforations].

Abstract

Three cases of corneal perforation which were treated with tissue adhesive (Histoacryl) are reported. The first case showed free fistulation after perforating keratoplasty, whilst the second had a trophic ulcer and the third had a traumatic corneal laceration with loss of corneal tissue. Treatment was successful in all three cases. The surgical technique, results and possible complications are mentioned.
