Mycobacterium chelonae keratitis following laser in situ keratomileusis.

Corneal infection after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is rare. However, surgical trauma or breakdown of epithelium increases the risk of surface infection. We present the case of a 45 year old woman who developed keratitis due to Mycobacterium chelonae 1 month after LASIK with the Mini-Laser Sight 2000 excimer laser. After an initial improvement following antibiotic therapy the infection progressed until it was necessary to perform penetrating keratoplasty, with a successful result.

[A new myoplasty method using the temporal muscle and cartilage allograft with the perichondrium].

The authors have for the first time achieved good results in experimental operations performed in 2 cadavers and 8 laboratory animals. A female patient suffering from progressive facial hemiatrophy was operated on with good results. The authors have revealed that facial deformation associated with Parry-Romberg's syndrome may be eliminated by myoplasty with the temporal muscle combined with transplantation of the allocartilage covered with perichondrium.
