Аннотация
PURPOSE: A case of keratectasia is reported as a severe presentation of surgically induced necrotizing sclerokeratitis (SINS).
METHODS: A 72-year-old white woman had a painful, raised lesion on the superior cornea of her right eye 3 years after uncomplicated extracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation. Examination showed a large ectatic area of the superior cornea with inflamed sclera adjacent to the surgical wound, which was diagnosed as SINS.
RESULTS: No underlying systemic autoimmune condition or vasculitis was identified on investigation. Progressive painful keratectasia necessitated enucleation, which confirmed on histopathologic examination features of chronic nodular episcleritis and nongranulomatous scleritis with evidence of keratitis and fibrovascular scarring.
CONCLUSION: The predominant inflammatory response in the cornea represents surgically induced necrotizing keratoscleritis (SINK) as a new variant presentation of SINS. Oral corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents should not be delayed to prevent progressive tissue destruction and poor outcome.
