Personal experiences with transplantation of antigenically compatible cornea. Preliminary report

Ten corneae from donors selected in respect of partial compatibility of the HLA antigens were transplanted in the period October 1988--October 1989. The grafting was performed in 10 patients with leukomas included in the group of maximal risk (5+). In 9 patients the leukomas were due to ocular burns...

Summary:Ten corneae from donors selected in respect of partial compatibility of the HLA antigens were transplanted in the period October 1988--October 1989. The grafting was performed in 10 patients with leukomas included in the group of maximal risk (5+). In 9 patients the leukomas were due to ocular burns (chemical in 8 patients and thermal in 1 patient). In 1 patient, a 74 years old man the grafting was performed in the single eye with Salzman's corneal dystrophy with a simultaneous cataract extraction. During observation, which lasted 2 to 12 months 6 grafts remained transparent, 1--partly opacified. Not any transplant did totally opacify.
