ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To report a case of ocular surface reconstruction using nasal and oral mucosa auto grafts on a man whose ocular surface was deformed by a chemical burn. CASE SUMMARY: A 48-year-old man was injured when his right eye was exposed to alkali solution. He underwent fifteen operations, including amniotic membrane auto grafts and fornix reconstructions. However, his right eye still suffered from symble pharon, drying, corneal neovascularization, and erosion. We performed ocular surface reconstruction with free autologous nasal and oral mucosal transplantation and amniotic membrane graft. By one month after surgery, his eye showed no evidence of symble pharon or fibrovascularization recurrence on the cornea or conjunctiva. By six months after surgery, his ocular surface had stabilized. CONCLUSIONS: Ocular surface reconstruction with free autologous nasal and oral mucosal transplantation is a useful method on eyes that are injured by chemical burns.
