%X UNASSIGNED: The purpose of this study is to describe a case of unilateral keratoconus associated with ipsilateral craniofacial fibrous dysplasia and its subsequent management with corneal collagen cross-linking.
UNASSIGNED: This is an interventional case report of a 16-year-old male with a history of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of the left frontal bone and orbital roof status post partial resection six years prior who presented to the pediatric ophthalmology clinic with progressively blurry vision in the left eye. Refraction in this eye revealed an increase in cylinder by > 3D from his last refraction two years prior. Pentacam corneal tomography confirmed the diagnosis of keratoconus in the left eye. The patient underwent corneal collagen cross-linking in the affected eye. Postoperatively, he experienced marked improvement in corrected visual acuity with scleral contact lenses and maintained stable astigmatism and keratometry values on Pentacam corneal tomography at his most recent visit 12 months postoperatively.
UNASSIGNED: While it is otherwise felt to be a bilateral disease, unilateral keratoconus may present in the context of ipsilateral orbital pathology. Corneal collagen cross-linking may be used to successfully prevent keratoconus progression in the setting of stable orbital pathology.
