“…[ 13 ] Though CCA may be an isolated disorder, it can be seen in association with mesenchymal dysgeneses such as Goldenhar’s syndrome and vertebral abnormalities, anal atresia, cardiac anomalies, trachea-esophageal fistula, and renal and limb deformities (VACTERL). [ 14 15 ] It may be seen in association with anhidrosis and congenital insensitivity to pain. [ 14 15 ] Typically, CCA is bilateral and rarely unilateral.…”

We present a comprehensive review of existing literature on surgical corneal neurotization (SCN) as a treatment modality for neurotrophic keratopathy (NK) with an interim report of seven cases where SCN was performed using the indirect approach and followed up till 18 months postoperatively to look for improvement in ocular surface, corneal sensations, and nerve regeneration by using in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM). A literature search was performed for publications with keywords “corneal nerves,” “neurotization,” “esthesiometry,” “corneal anesthesia,” and “neurotrophic keratopathy.” All literature available till December 31, 2020 was reviewed and included to describe NK and its management options, particularly SCN. NK is associated with absent or reduced corneal sensations and is managed using a step-ladder algorithm ranging from medical management for symptomatic relief to surgical corneal neurotization. Both direct and indirect approaches of SCN have a favorable outcome with reduced surgical morbidity in the indirect approach using sural nerve graft. Post neurotization, corneal sensation recovery may take up to 3–6 months, while nerve regeneration on confocal microscopy can take as long as 6 months–1 year.

“…Congenital CA may be isolated,1 2 but also occurs in association with mesenchymal dysgeneses such as VACTERL association (vertebral anomalies, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheo-oesophageal fistula, renal anomalies, limb abnormalities),3 and Goldenhar4 and Möbius syndromes 5. It is also seen with neurological disorders, including hereditary neuropathies such as familial dysautonomia and congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA),6 7 and focal disorders of brainstem development 8…”
