1 Corneal specimens that influence clinical decisions Refractive surgery Corneal dystrophies Microbial infections J. Douglas Cameron, MD Chief, Ophthalmic Pathology Division Neuropathology Department Armed Forces Institute of Pathology Washington, DC, 20306
2 45 year-old man with progressive corneal opacification and extreme pain
3 Critical Anatomy Tear film Oxygen delivery system Passive resistance to infection Mucous Lysozymes Glycocalyx Active resistance to infection Non-nodal lymphocytes Langerhans cells
4 Stratified squamous epithelium Conserved radius of curvature Homogeneous cell population Lipid barrier to drug delivery Sensory nerve plexus Able to secrete proteolytic enzymes
5 The Limbus; junction of cornea and sclera Arteriovenous arcades Lymphatic channels Stem cells; source of corneal epithelial cells
6 Bowman s membrane Acellular No mechanism for repair
7 Corneal stroma (matrix) Type I collagen and proteoglycans (nonrenewable_ Resting keratocyte (fibroblast) population Collagenase Gelatinase High tensile strength Limited repair capacity
8 Descemet s membrane Resistant to proteolysis Not attached to collagen matrix Not attached to endothelium
9 Corneal endothelium Not vascular endothelium A type of mesothelium Not renewable Can undergo fibrous metaplasia
10 Refractive Surgery Surgical methods for changing the optic characteristics of the eye Usually performed on the cornea Does not completely eliminate the need for glasses.
11 Radial Keratotomy Obsolete procedure Free-hand incisions of the cornea 4 to 40 incisions Compromised architectural integrity Unstable radius of curvature-changing vision through the day Wound rupture with minimal trauma
12 LASIK (Laser assisted in situ keratomileusis) [?LAISK] Thinning a cornea with an excimer [excited dimer] laser Short wave length superficial penetration Surface pain and scarring Superficial flap Apply laser energy directly to corneal matrix
13 LASIK Short circuits host defenses; alters repair mechanisms Microbial infection Epithelial ingrowth Altered biochemical environment Sands of Sahara syndrome Epithelial ingrowth
14 Corneal Dystrophy Visible, heritable, biochemical abnormality of the cornea Classification changing with new genetic mapping Bilateral Progressive, variable clinical expression
15 Keratoconus Progressive weakening of the architectural strength of the cornea (? Proteolysis, matrix metalloproteinases) Progressive change of corneal curvature Risk of rupture of Descemet's membrane [corneal hydrops] Risk of rupture of the fullthickness cornea [corneal perforation]
16 Keratoconus Risk of perforating Descemet s membrane; corneal hydrops Sudden onset Partially reversible Risk of perforating fullthickness cornea A surgical emergency Risk of bacterial endophthalmitis
17 Recurrence of Corneal Dystrophies Granular dystrophy Abnormal protein produced by epithelium Graft epithelium is replaced by host epithelium Lattice corneal dystrophy Amyloid (? keratocytes) Primary localized amyloidosis Graft keratocytes replaced by host keratocytes.
18 Fuchs endothelial dystrophy Progressive dysfunction of the corneal endothelium since birth Clinical expression at age 60 to 80 years Progressive corneal edema (endothelial pump failure ) Treatment Penetrating keratoplasty Deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty (DLEK)
19 Endothelial Failure (PKP) Epithelium Subepithelial bullae Intraepithelial basement membrane formation Descemet s membrane Generalized thickening Localized thickening (guttata) Loss of endothelial cell density
20 Endothelial Failure (DLEK) Anterior cornea remains intact Deep lamellar keratoplasty Posterior corneal stroma replaced Descemet s membrane replaced Descemet s membrane Excrescences of Descemet s membrane En face sections of guttata Few if any endothelial cells identified.
21 Microbial Infection of the Cornea Host defenses Passive Tear film Mucous Glycocalyx Lipid epithelial barrier Vulnerable posterior to corneal epithelium Limited density and activity of keratocytes Langerhans cells Non-nodal lymphocytes
22 Pseudomonas Keratitis Contact lens overwear Oxygen deprivation Loss of passive proteins Adhesion of pseudomonas organisms Production of collagenase By the organism By PMN Progressive corneal proteolysis ( melting )
23 Crystalline Keratopathy Prolonged treatment with topical steroids Corneal surgery allergic keratitis Creation of localized immune deficiency Proliferation of bacteria in colonies Separated by stromal lamellae, appearance of crystals S. epidermidis
24 Herpes Simplex Keratitis (HSV-1) Primary cutaneous infection Residual organism in ganglia (dormant) Reactivation and migration to cornea epithelium via sensory axons
25 Epithelial Herpes Simplex Keratitis (Dendritic keratitis) Intraepithelial proliferation Loss of desmosomes (vesicles) Cell death; linear ulceration dendritic figures Spontaneous resolution Mechanical removal Antivirals
26 Stromal Herpes Simplex Keratitis (Discoid keratitis, Herpes metaherpetica) Recurrence at unpredictable rate and interval Change in antigen status of stromal matrix Giant cell reaction to membranes Proteolysis of matrix Corneal perforation Tissue adhesives Penetrating keratoplasty
27 Acanthamoeba Keratitis Acanthamoeba Protozoan commonly found in water Forms Trophozoite Encysted Organism neurotrophic Presents with extreme pain Progressive ring opacity followed by ulceration
28 Acanthamoeba Corneal Risk Factors Contact lens overwear Oxygen deprivation Microrupture of corneal epithelium Large areas of epithelial cell loss (corneal abrasion) Exposure to high organism concentration in hot tubs Exposure to stagnant water (Mississippi River Flood 1993)
29 Acanthamoeba Infection Crosses lipid barrier Stimulation of corneal nerves Production of proteases and migration through the corneal matrix Able to penetrate to and through Descemet s membrane Not associated with endophthalmitis Both cornea and conjunctiva are infected
30 Acanthamoeba Organism Clinical confocal microscopy Trophozoites not visible Double wall of encysted organism Light microscopy Trophozoites not visible Any stain Thick walled cysts Usually no inflammatory infiltrate Treatment: unsatisfactory
31 Cornea: Review of Important Points (1): The corneal epithelium is the principle dynamic element in corneal pathology Protects the structurally essential nature of the collagen matrix from infection Able to contribute to structural damage by producing proteases Biochemical abnormalities of the epithelium may lead to progressive corneal opacity (granular dystrophy)
32 Cornea: Review of Important Points (2): Refractive surgery potentially compromises the function of the cornea Loss of architectural strength (radial keratotomy [RK]) Corneal scarring (photorefractive keratectomy [PRK]} Circumvent corneal defenses (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis [LASIK])
33 Cornea: Review of Important Points (3): Corneal dystrophies recur following penetrating keratoplasty The biochemical defect is in the cells of the host The donor cells of corneal transplantation are replaced by host cells
34 Cornea: Review of Important Points (4): Corneal infections are often associated with proteolysis leading to corneal ulceration and possible corneal perforation Pseudomonas keratitis Herpes simplex keratitis Acanthamoeba keratitis
