Bovine Amniotic Membrane Transplantation for the Treatment of Descemetocele in a Dog

개에서 데스메막류 치료를 위한 양막이식의 적용

Abstract

An 1.6-year-old female Shih Tzu was presented with corneal perforation, descemetocele, and deep corneal ulcer in the left eye. A bovine amniotic membrane graft which preserved in lyophylized dry form and a third eyelid flap were applied. After 14 days, the cornea was fluorescein-negative. At day 42 postoperatively, only a moderate scar at the corneal center was showed. At the 10-month follow-up, there was clear cornea with a mild scar.

1.6년령 암컷 시쮸가 좌안에 각막천공, 데스메막류 및 심한 melting ulcer를 나타냈다. 손상된 각막에 소에서 유래한 양막을 이식하고 동시에 제3안검판을 실시하였다. 14일후에 제 3안검판을 제거하고 각막은 형광염색 음성을 보였다. 수술 후 42일째 각막 중앙에 중등도의 반흔이 존재하였고 10개월 후 각막은 거의 투명하였으며 가벼운 반흔만이 나타났다.
