Özet
Mitomycin (MMC) has been associated with a variety of complications, including corneoscleral melt. We report the successful repair of a scleral melt with a partial thickness autologous scleral graft of the scleral melting. A 55-year-old male patient underwent pterygium resection surgery and intraoperative MMC application. The patient developed a deep melting area that almost reached the choroid layer at the nasal sclera. We repaired scleral defect with a partial thickness autologous scleral graft. Closure of an MMC-associated scleral melting area with an autologous partial thickness scleral graft is an effective and easy-touse method.
