영문 초록

Purpose: To report 8 cases of Noninfectious early anterior chamber reaction after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP), and to review relevant literature. Methods: Retrospectively, we reviewed medical records of 8 patients who had undergo PKP from March 2001 to May 2004, associated with early severe chamber reaction. Results: Preoperative diagnosis are corneal opacity (4 cases), keratoconus (2 cases), corneal ectasia after LASIK (1 case) and graft failure (1 case). Although they didn`t show severe chamber reaction at first day after surgery, the anterior chamber reaction with cornea edema and decreased visual acuity had increased with time. We didn`t give the additional treatment except increasing the number of instillation of topical steroid. The inflammation was improved within a week and the complete resolution was achieved during the follow-up in all cases. In all cases posterior synechia and anterior subcapsular opacity were found. Conclusions: It seems reasonable to conclude that a single common etiologic factor could not responsible for this syndrome. Non-infectious inflammation developing upon PKP may be caused by a multifactorial process like increased IOP, toxic anterior segment syndrome form surgical trauma or hypersensitivity reaction et al and viscoelastics effect.
