Özet
Trauma-related corneal epithelial ingrowth is a rare condition which was defined in only one previous report among the literature. A sequela-free recovery can be achieved with appropriate diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. A 40-year-old female patient with a history of trauma about 6 months ago was referred to our clinic with the corneal scar in the left eye. In the slit-lamp examination, granular, well-defined opacities in the left corneal stroma were observed. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) revealed superficial intrastromal hyperreflective structures. Keratectomy were performed assuming epithelial ingrowth. Histological findings of excised flap confirmed the diagnosis. Six weeks later, no detectable ingrowth was observed and the BCVA improved.
