Coleção fluídica na interface do LASIK causada por glaucoma secundário à ceratouveíte herpética: relato de caso

Abstract

Herpes simplex virus infection is a frequent cause of intraocular inflammation or anterior uveitis. Ocular hypertension is a common feature in herpetic keratouveitis. We describe a fluid accumulation and flap displacement in late postoperative period (28 months) of LASIK associated with ocular hypertension caused by herpetic keratouveitis. This finding supports the theory that flap attachment after LASIK is only partial and the virtual space remains indefinitely. The presence of ocular hypertension may lead to corneal edema and fluid accumulation in the interface.

<p>Corneal Refractive Surgery in Patients with a History of Herpes Simplex Keratitis: A Narrative Review</p>

“…Eleven case reports and one retrospective study discussed post-LASIK ocular herpes in 19 patients. 25,30,[37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48] A summary of the findings of each paper can be found in Table 3. Of note, the presentation of HSK ranged from one day post-LASIK to 28 months, with the median being four weeks.…”
