Abstract
ORTUNO-PRADOS, V.J. and ALIO, J.L.. Treatment of a neurotrophic corneal ulcer with solid platelet-rich plasma and Tutopatch®. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2011, vol.86, n.4, pp.121-123. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case reports: We present the case of a patient with neurotrophic queratitis in the left eye treated with a Tutopatch® cover and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Solid autologous PRP was placed in the bed of the ulcer and Tutopatch® was sutured to the conjunctiva. Discussion: We found this form of treatment very effective for progressive ulcers. Tutopatch® may constitute an alternative to amniotic membrane transplantation.
Keywords : PRP; Corneal ulcer; Corneal perforation; Tutopatch®.
