Abstract
PURPOSE
To report a primary surgical repair of a severe corneal laceration, a lens prolapse and a traumatic aniridia by blunt trauma in Terrien's marginal degeneration. METHODS: A 46-year-old female visited our hospital for corneal laceration due to a blunt trauma of the right eye. A primary corneal suture was done and 8 days later, amniotic membrane transplantation was performed. RESULTS: The perforated eyeball regained its integrity with a stabilized cornea. Also, the anterior chamber was reformed and visual acuity improved. CONCLUSIONS: In the first case of Terrien's marginal degeneration in the right eye, which had a 360-degree iridodialysis(aniridia) with aphakia due to blunt traumatic separation of the iris root from the ciliary body. We achived a good operative result with primary corneal suture and amniotic membrane transplantation.
