Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical outcome of scleral staphyloma secondary to necrotizing scleritis treated with autologous pericranial grafting.
Case report: A 63-year-old woman with necrotizing scleritis and choroidal protrusion underwent homologous scleral grafting, which failed. The patient's medical management was optimized for control of her systemic inflammation, and she underwent a second surgery consisting of autologous pericranium grafted to the parietal region. A 3- × 2-cm tissue patch was harvested and sutured over the staphyloma borders with 8/0 polyglactin sutures. Complete re-epithelialization was observed at 3 weeks, the graft was well integrated, and no signs of inflammation were observed at 18 months.
Conclusions: The pericranium offers a viable alternative for scleral thinning because of necrotizing scleritis.
