Abstract
Case reportWe present the case of a 29 year-old man who came to the Emergency Department due to pain in the right eye. There was demonstrated a complete corneal deepithelialisation. There was no clinical improvement after appropriate treatment, which was complicated by migraine and vomiting. The computerized tomography (CT) scan showed images suggestive of cerebral toxoplasmosis. After the complete tarsorrhaphy a restitution ad integrum was observed. ConclusionThe diagnosis of a neurotrophic corneal ulcer due to an affected trigeminal nerve in the context of a cerebral toxoplasmosis, tarsorrhaphy is an effective procedure to take in account in corneal epithelial defects resistant to other treatments.
