영문 초록

Purpose: To report a case of unilateral peripheral corneal ulcer after cataract extraction in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis. Case summary: A 57-year-old woman who had been taking immune modulating medication since being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis previously presented with a chief complaint of visual disturbance and ocular pain 4 days after cataract extraction was performed on her left eye. Slit lamp examination showed a peripheral corneal ulcer around the nasal cataract incision site. Systemic administration of steroid agents for three days reduced the corneal lesion, and then the oral steroid was tapered. However, the peripheral corneal ulcer was found to be aggravated several days later, and oral cyclosporine was added as an immune modulating treatment. After 2 weeks of treatment, thinning of the cornea and the peripheral corneal ulcer stopped and corneal re-epithelialization was found. Conclusions: Treatment with steroids and immune modulating agents may be effective in the management of peripheral corneal ulcers after cataract extraction surgery in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
