简介:目的:评价羊膜移植几种手术方法治疗大泡性角膜病变的临床效果。方法:对18例大泡性角膜病变患者,分别采取角膜层间烧烙术、新鲜羊膜移植术、角膜灼烙联合羊膜嵌入移植手术。结果:18例大泡性角膜病变患者,术后1~5d疼痛消失,7~12d角膜上皮修复,7~21d后羊膜植片常规溶解。角膜层间烧烙术1眼、新鲜羊膜移植术3眼术后1~2mo再次出现角膜大泡及角膜刺激症状而再次手术。角膜灼烙联合羊膜嵌入移植术,术后当天疼痛消失,14d角膜上皮光滑,角膜大泡消失。随访6~18mo无1例复发,部分患者视力有不同程度的提高。结论:角膜灼烙联合羊膜嵌入移植对大泡性角膜病变具有明显的治疗效果.

简介:目的:评价大剂量甲基强的松龙对原田病急性期浆液性视网膜脱离的治疗作用.方法:对2001-12/2003-07就诊本院患者11例(22眼)在临床诊断当天即给予甲基强的松龙静脉滴注,剂量为500mg,1次/d,连续用3d后迅速减量,于7d内减为强的松口服.OCT和间接眼底镜观察炎症渗出吸收情况,检查视功能恢复情况.结果:大剂量甲基强的松龙静脉滴注次日即可观察到22眼视网膜下液均明显减少,静滴3d后浆液性视网膜脱离基本消失,视网膜复位,出院时21眼视网膜下液完全吸收,14眼(64%)视力恢复至0.5以上.结论:甲基强的松龙冲击疗法可促进原田病急性期视网膜下液迅速吸收,恢复视功能,疗效可靠,值得临床推广.
