Long-term prognosis of penetrating keratoplasty in a patient with limited form of Scleroderma- a case report
PurposeTo explore the challenges of managing recurrent graft rejections in patients with Macular Corneal Dystrophy (MCD) undergoing Penetrating Keratoplasty (PKP) who also have an underlying diagnosis of Systemic Sclerosis, specifically the limited form known as CREST syndrome.MethodsThe case of a 47-year-old female diagnosed with MCD who underwent multiple PKPs over a 13 year period was reviewed. The patients treatment included extensive surgical interventions (PKPs, amniotic membrane transplatation, tarsorrhaphy) and medical management involving systemic and topical steroids and immunosuppressive therapy (Tacrolimus ointment).ResultsInitial PKP surgeries improved the patients vision, but subsequently graft rejections,both acute and chronic, required further surgical and medical interventions. Despite aggressive management, the patient experienced multiple graft failures, with the final visual outcome being significantly compromised (vision 6/60). the presence of CREST syndrome complicated the management and prognosis of graft survival.ConclusionThis case illustrates the significant impact of systemic autoimmune disorders like CREST syndrome on the prognosis of PKP in patients with MCD. It highlights the necessity for diligent systemic evaluation and possibly more aggressive immunosuppresive strategies to manage graft rejections and prolong graft survival in such complex clinical scenarios.
