Аннотация
BACKGROUND: After bone marrow transplantation various ocular diseases have been described. Ocular involvement is very common in patients with chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease (GvHD). These patients show clinical and histological evidence of a dry-eye condition in 60-100 per cent. A severe complication is the development of a corneal ulcer with possible corneal perforation. Two patients with a severe dry-eye condition and development of corneal stroma ulceration are described. The corneal ulcers healed after treatment with collagen-shield.
HISTORY AND SIGNS: In a 13-year-old boy an allogeneic bone marrow transplantation was performed in April 1989 because of Fanconi's anemia. In November 1989 a severe dry-eye condition occurred due to GvHD with skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract manifestation. In April 1991 he presented with corneal stroma ulceration of the right eye. In a 24-year-old patient an allogeneic bone marrow transplantation was performed because of chronic myeloid leukemia in August 1989. In December 1989 he developed dry-eye condition due to GvHD with skin, mucosa and liver involvement. In December 1991 a corneal ulcer of the left eye occurred.
THERAPY AND OUTCOME: Repeated conjunctival and corneal smears were negative. Local antibiotic and antiviral treatment showed no effect. Corneal ulcers deteriorated progressively with corneal thinning. Both patients were therefore treated with daily collagen-shields and hourly polyvinyl-pyrrolidon eye-drops resulting in healing of the corneal ulcer within 3 and 2 weeks respectively.
CONCLUSION: Treatment of corneal stromal ulceration in dry eye condition caused by chronic GvHD is difficult. In noninfectious ulcers daily application of collagen-shields and hourly artificial tears may prevent severe ocular complications like corneal perforation.
