Resumo: Keratoconus has usually been described as bilateral but asymmetric disease. Corneal ectasia is one of the long-term complications of modern refractive surgery, especially those submitted to laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). We describe a patient with keratoconus in the right eye that was submitted to radial keratectomy (RK) in the left eye 19 years ago with no progression of the ectatic cornea and no complications related to the refractive surgery. Because unilateral keratoconus is rare, we believe that RK was performed on an already ectatic cornea (not clinically detected) or with fruste keratoconus. However, neither corneal ectasia progressed, nor ectasia was induced by RK in the fellow eye.

Nós descrevemos um caso de uma paciente com ceratocone no olho direito e que foi submetida à ceratotomia radial no olho esquerdo há 19 anos, desde então sem sinais de progressão da ectasia corneana nem de complicações relativas à cirurgia refrativa. Como o ceratocone unilateral é raro, acreditamos que a cirurgia refrativa tenha sido realizada num olho com ectasia corneana não detectada clinicamente ou com ceratocone frustro. Entretanto, a ectasia do olho direito não progrediu e também não houve sinais de ectasia no olho submetido à cirurgia refrativa nesse período de 19 anos de acompanhamento.Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), Escola Paulista de Medicina (EPM) Department of OphthalmologyUNIFESP, EPM, Department of OphthalmologySciELOConselho Brasileiro de OftalmologiaUniversidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Sousa, Jacqueline Martins de [UNIFESP]Hirai, Flávio Eduardo [UNIFESP]Sato, Elcio Hideo [UNIFESP]2015-06-14T13:45:30Z2015-06-14T13:45:30Z2013-06-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion195-196application/pdfhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0004-27492013000300014Arquivos Brasileiros de Oftalmologia.
