Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of intracameral perfluoropropane in managing hydrops after penetrating keratoplasty for keratoconus.
  • Reported two case studies of keratoconus patients with hydrops following penetrating keratoplasty.
  • Administered intracameral perfluoropropane injection as a treatment for hydrops.
  • Monitored outcomes of the treatment over time.
  • Successful resolution of hydrops in both cases following treatment with intracameral perfluoropropane.
  • Demonstrated new potential for managing rare complications after corneal grafts.

Abstract

Abstract Keratoconus is an axial corneal ectasia of obscure etiology. It has been associated with many systemic and ocular diseases as well as with a variety of inheritance patterns. Penetrating keratoplasty (PK) has been highly successful in treating advanced cases. Hydrops within the transplanted material is unusual after PK. We report the two cases of hydrops postkeratoplasty in a keratoconus patient successfully managed with intracameral perfluoropropane injection.
