Corneal ulcer, types , diagnosis and management


Slide Content

Corneal ulcer s By Dr. Shubham Agarwal (MBBS Intern)

Corneal ulcers Discontinuation in normal epithelial surface of cornea associated with necrosis of the surrounding corneal tissue It can be: Bacterial corneal ulcer Fungal corneal ulcers Viral corneal ulcers Protozal corneal ulcers

Causative agent Bacterial Fungal Viral Protozoal Staphylococcus aureus FILAMENTOUS YEAST HSV I Acanthamoeba Pseudomonas pyocyanea Fusarium Candida HSV II Streptococcus pneumoniae Alternaria Cryptococcus E. Coli Penicillium N. Meningitidis Aspergillus N. Gonorrhoea Cornybacterium diphtheriae

Pathophysiology (Bacterial)

Bacterial ulcer

Pathophysiology (Fungal) Severe inflammatory response Stromal necrosis Filamentous fungi can penetrate the intact Descement’s membrane Corneal perforation Fungal ulcer

Risk factors CL wearers Trauma Ocular surface diseases Immuno -compromised diseases Trauma with vegetable matter Diabetes Injury with animal tail

Symptoms Pain Photophobia Blurred vision Discharge Foreign body sensation Watering Redness

Signs Bacterial Fungal Viral Protozoal Swelling of lids Dry greyish -white stromal infiltrate Punctate epithelial keratitis Irregular and greyish eipthelial surface Blepharospasm Elevated rolled out margins Dendritic ulcers Epithelial pseudodendrites Conjunctival chemosis Satellite lesion Geographical ulcers Focal anterior stromal infiltrates Conjunctival hyperaemia Yellowish-white infiltrate Virus-laden cells at margin of ulcer stain with rose bengal stain Radial keratoneuritis Ciliary congestion Dense suppuration Reduced corneal sensation Enlargement and coalescence of infiltrates from ring abscess Greyish -white circumscribed infiltrate Hypopyon Scleritis may develop Yellowish-white oval/irregular area of ulcer Corneal melting stromal necrosis Stromal oedema Hypopyon Corneal perforation Endophthalmitis

Dendritic ulcer Superficial punctate keratitis

Hypopyon Acanthamoeba keratitis

Corneal oedema Endophthalmitis

Geographic ulcer Satelite lesion

features Mild Moderate Severe Size < 2 mm 2-5 mm > 5 mm Depth of ulcer < 20% 20-50% > 50% Stromal infiltrate Dense Superficial Dense upto mid stroma Dense deep stromal Scleral involvement - - present Grading of corneal ulcers

Grading Grade AC cells Grade 0 None Grade 1 1-15 cells Grade 2 15-25 cells Grade 3 > 25 cells Grade Aqueous flares Grade 0 Absent Grade 1 Mild (barely detected) Grade 2 Moderate (iris and lens seen) Grade 3 Severe (iris and lens not seen)

Grade Corneal oedema Grade 0 Absent Grade 1 Mild Grade 2 Moderate Grade 3 Severe Grade Conjunctival congestion Grade 0 None Grade 1 Mild (some vessels injected) Grade 2 Moderate (diffusely injected) Grade 3 Severe (intensely injected)

Treatment Bacterial Fungal Viral Protozoal Topical antibiotics: Ciprofloxacin Vancomycin Ofloxacin Moxifloxacin Removal of eithelium Antiviral agent: Acyclovir e/d (3%) Gancyclovir e/d (0.15%) Trifluorothymidine e/d (1%) Antiamoebic agent Propamidine isoethionate (0-1%) Polyhexamethylene biguanide (0.02%) Ciprofloxacin Clotrimazole M iconazole Oral antibiotics: T. Ciprofloxacin Topical- Filamentous: Natamycin (5%) Econazole (1%) Amphotericin B (0.15%) Miconazole (1%) Debridement For dendritic ulcers Debridement Mydriatics : Atropine (1%) cyclopentolate (1%) Candida: Econazole (1%) Natamycin (5%) Fluconazole (2%) Clotrimazole (1%) Oral ketoconazole (200mg) Topical steroids: Subconjunctival fluconazole Systemic antifungals : Itraconazole (100mg) Voriconazole (100mg) Excisional penetrating keratoplasty
