Marginal Ulcers orPeripheral Ulcerative Keratitis

2

• In this interactive module, peripheral ulcerative keratitis will be reviewed. This will be in the context of a diagnostic classification, management algorithm and case presentations.

Learning Objectives

To better understand the various etiologies of corneal ulcers including Infectious vs. Non-Infectious and Systemic vs Local

Discuss the approach to diagnosis including dry eye testing, review of systems, cultures and systemic testing

Review management principles including wound healing, prevention of perforation and addressing the underlying condition

3

• Crescent shaped, destructive inflammatory lesion affecting the juxtalimbal corneal tissue

• Often associated with systemic disease

• May signify “vasculitis” and thus, be potentiallylife-threatening

Peripheral Ulcerative Keratitis (PUK)

NON INFECTIOUS PERIPHERAL INFILTRATIVE KERATITIS

Stern GA. Cornea, Ch 23; Krachmer, Mannis, Holland, Eds.

Microulcerative

Macroulcerative

16

• Generally manifestation of systemic, immune-mediated disease

• Most common: Rheumatoid arthritis, Wegener’s granulomatosis and polyarteritis nodosa



Microulcerative

Macroulcerative

• Punctate marginal keratitis

• Peripheral keratitis associated with blepharitis

17



Microulcerative• Punctate marginal keratitis

– Staphylococci, Streptococci, Haemophilus, hypersensitivity to medications

• Peripheral keratitis associated with blepharitis

– Catarrhal ulceration

– Phlyctenulosis

– Peripheral rosacea keratitis

18

• Size

• Number

• Location

• Intervening space

• …not really, although:

– Catarrhal may have intervening space, and be located at the 2, 4, 8 and 10 o’clock positions

Are There Any Distinguishing Features?

19

PERIPHERAL CORNEAL INFLAMMATION


INFECTIOUS IMMUNOLOGIC

EPITHELIUM Usually epithelial defect Usually intact initially

DISCHARGE Usually Unlikely

INFILTRATES Spread centrally Spread concentrically

HYPOPYON Common Uncommon

• Treat without testing?

• Treat, but testing required?
