Necrotizing sclerokeratitis, a rare complication after cataract surgery, can lead to severe vision loss. Prompt treatment, including immunosuppression or surgical repair, is crucial but may not always prevent adverse outcomes like eye removal or phthisis bulbi.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Complications
  • Immunosuppression

Background:

  • Extracapsular cataract extraction is a common surgical procedure.
  • Necrotizing sclerokeratitis is a severe inflammatory condition affecting the sclera and cornea.
  • This condition can occur postoperatively, even after uncomplicated procedures.

Observation:

  • Two cases of necrotizing sclerokeratitis following uneventful cataract surgery are presented.
  • The first case required enucleation despite initial immunosuppressive therapy.
  • The second case involved a lyophilized dura graft, achieving initial stability but later developing phthisis bulbi.

Findings:

  • Necrotizing sclerokeratitis post-cataract extraction presents a significant clinical challenge.

  • Aggressive immunosuppressive treatment may not prevent the need for enucleation.
  • Surgical management with grafts can stabilize the condition but does not preclude long-term complications.

    • Implications:

    • These cases highlight the potential for severe complications after cataract surgery.
    • Ophthalmologists must be vigilant for early signs of necrotizing sclerokeratitis.
    • Further research into optimal management strategies for this rare but devastating complication is warranted.
