Amniotic Membrane Transplantation for Wound Dehiscence after Deep Lamellar Keratoplasty: A Case Report

Presented by:	Journal of Medical Case Reports / Tetsuya Kawakita, Tamaki Sumi, Dogru Murat, Kazuo Tsubota and Jun Shimazaki
Summary points:	An 84-year-old diagnosed with recurrent herpetic keratitis in the right eye presents with decreased vision and right ocular pain 5 months after keratoplasty due to central corneal opacity and peripheral corneal neovascularisation with lipid deposition in the right eye. This case report details the medical history and outcome after 8 months of treatment. The authors discuss the benefits of their amniotic membrane "roll-in filling technique".
