ORTUNO-PRADOS, V.J.  e  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.
