Abstract:
Limbal autograft transplantation is recommended for treatment of limbal stem cell destruction and its complications. It is appropriate to restore corneal reepithelialization and arrest corneal vascularization and scarring. In unilateral alkali injury, limbal transplantation was first recommended for late management of corneal conjunctivalization. Our patient had severe ocular unilateral alkali injury. Early autologous limbal transplant was effective in restoring an excellent corneal surface and a good visual function.

The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...
