Pre-Cross linking 24 years old female, BCVA 20/50 Topography = Keratoconus grade 2 Pachymetery Map, 510 Microns 2A.Sedky,FRCOphth,Cairo,Egypt
4 days post X-Linking White Elevated mass with corneal ulceration 3 A.Sedky,FRCOphth,Cairo,Egypt
What happened???? 4 A.Sedky,FRCOphth,Cairo,Egypt
Fungal or microbial infection? Deep Corneal vessles 360 degrees 5 A.Sedky,FRCOphth,Cairo,Egyp t
Or excessive Riboflavin???? Patient in severe pain, UCVA is HM 6 A.Sedky,FRCOphth,Cairo,Egypt
Two weeks post X-Linking, Scraping was done Lab test = Negative 7A.Sedky,FRCOphth,Cairo,Egypt
One week after scraping Re-formation of the same elevated white mass 8 A.Sedky,FRCOphth,Cairo,Egypt
Corneal cross section Pentacam Shows thickened elevated mass 9 A.Sedky,FRCOphth,Cairo,Egypt
Patient Follow Up One Month post X-linkingTwo months post X-linking 10A.Sedky,FRCOphth,Cairo,Egypt
Patient Follow Up 3 months, healing is better, corneal vessels are less 4 months, healed, white opacity, Corneal vessels regressed, PKP is done 11A.Sedky,FRCOphth,Cairo,Egypt
Conclusion Do we need some sort of a Nomogram for CCL? Do we have to use the same amount of Riboflavin for all corneal diameter? Do we have to use the same amount of Riboflavin for all corneal thickness? 12A.Sedky,FRCOphth,Cairo,Egypt
