摘要
PURPOSE: To report the cosmetic and therapeutic use of corneal tattooing for a child with sectoral traumatic corneal scarring and symptomatic glare from sectoral traumatic iris loss. DESIGN: Interventional case report. METHODS: A sixyear-old girl underwent corneal tattooing (platinum chloride reduced by hydrazine) in the relevant scarred corneal sector. RESULTS: Six months after the procedure, the child enjoyed a more normal corneal appearance and no longer suffered from glare. Postoperative epithelial healing, however, was slow and required vigilance. CONCLUSIONS: Corneal tattooing can allow both cosmetic and therapeutic benefit when indicated in a child. However, postoperative healing may require management when using platinum chloride reduced by hydrazine.
