Massive corneal-epibulbar dermoid managed with pre-descemetic DALK and SLET

Management of large corneal-epibulbar dermoids always poses a challenge to the surgeons due to deeper corneal involvement. Also, there is a risk of limbal stem cell deficiency and formation of pseudopterygium with larger areas of limbal involvement. We report a novel surgical technique for the manag...

Sumario:Management of large corneal-epibulbar dermoids always poses a challenge to the surgeons due to deeper corneal involvement. Also, there is a risk of limbal stem cell deficiency and formation of pseudopterygium with larger areas of limbal involvement. We report a novel surgical technique for the management of giant corneal-epibulbar dermoid with pre-descemetic deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) and simple limbal epithelial transfer (SLET).
