Use of Tachosil® as an adjuvant therapeutic option in neurotrophic keratopathy in order to prevent perforation

Abstract

We present two cases of women who suffered from neurotrophic keratopathy (one of them had undergone penetrating keratoplasty) which had led to corneal thinning. Tachosil® was used as an adjuvant treatment after topical medication by itself failed in both cases. To our knowledge, there are no reported cases of the use of Tachosil® in corneal grafts.
