Abstract
The optical coherence tomography (OCT) Visante provides easy, high-resolution observation free of contact with the cornea and anterior segment. We present the progression of a neurotrophic corneal ulcer treated with amniotic membrane grafts studied with this system. A 71-year-old patient with facial nerve paresis secondary to vestibular schwannoma surgery presented with a neurotrophic perforated corneal ulcer. Since medical treatment had failed, we performed an amniotic membrane graft. The OCT Visante was used for follow-up for 2 months. Progression was slow but the perforation eventually closed. Cicatrization of the corneal ulcer was followed with the OCT Visante to document the healing process and corneal thickness. Optical coherence tomography Visante provides easy visualization and high-resolution documentation with no contact with the healing corneal ulcerations.
