Mitomycin C Inhibits Recurrent Avellino Dystrophy After Phototherapeutic Keratectomy

1 Feb 2006

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To report 4 patients with Avellino corneal dystrophy (ACD) who were treated with 0.02% mitomycin C (MMC) during phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK). METHODS: ACD was confirmed by polymorphism of the exon region in the BIGH3 gene using polymerase chain reaction followed by DNA sequencing analysis. Three patients with recurrent ACD and 1 patient with primary ACD underwent PTK. Intraoperative 0.02% MMC was...
