Endothelial dysfunction in a child with Pearson marrow-pancreas syndrome managed with Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty using a suture pull-through techniqu [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
A 4-year-old girl with a history of Pearson marrow-pancreas syndrome presenting with severe, progressive photophobia was found to have bilateral, diffuse corneal thickening and peripheral pigmentary retinopathy. She underwent Descemet stripping automated

Use of biomaterials in corneal endothelial repair

open access: yesTherapeutic Advances in Ophthalmology, 2021
Human corneal endothelium (HCE) is a single layer of hexagonal cells that lines the posterior surface of the cornea. It forms the barrier that separates the aqueous humor from the rest of the corneal layers (stroma and epithelium layer). This layer plays

Corneal Allograft Rejection: Immunopathogenesis to Therapeutics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Corneal transplantation is among the most successful solid organ transplants. However, despite low rejection rates of grafts in the ‘low-risk’ setting, rejection can be as high as 70% when grafted into ‘high-risk’ recipient beds. Under normal homeostatic

Four in one: Four recepients with a single donor tissue - A novel concept for eye transplantation surgery post-COVID-19

open access: yesIndian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2020
A donor corneo-scleral button was dissected into four parts using a simple manual technique. The anterior corneal lamellae was stripped from the Descemet's Membrane (DM) and Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) was performed in a patient with ...

Additional file 1: of Descemetâ s membrane endothelial keratoplasty for pseudoexfoliation syndrome: a case series

open access: yes, 2019
Figure S1. Before Descemetâ s membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) (A) and after DMEK (B) in the PEX group. Corneal transparency remarkably improves after phacoemulsification and DMEK. Despite impressive improvement of the corneal edema, the PEX materials are clearly detectable on the iris before and after DMEK (Arrows). (PDF 150 kb)
