摘　　要：AIM:To evaluate and report the efficacy of combined surgical excision and corneal tattooing in patients with limbal dermoids.·METHODS:In a retrospective interventional case series,9 eyes of 8 patients were treated with combined surgery of simple keratectomy and corneal tattooing for limbal dermoids.Medical records,including best-corrected visual acuity,anterior segment photography,demographic,clinical data,and follow-up information were reviewed.·RESULTS:The mean follow up period in this study was 50±15(range 36-77) months.There was no evidence of infection or recurrent limbal dermoids in any of the eyes during the follow-up period.All patients achieved good cosmetic outcomes with no complications.·CONCLUSION:Simple keratectomy and corneal tattooing of limbal dermoids could be an alternative option for surgery,especially when a donor cornea is not available.AIM:To evaluate and report the efficacy of combined surgical excision and corneal tattooing in patients with limbal dermoids.·METHODS:In a retrospective interventional case series,9 eyes of 8 patients were treated with combined surgery of simple keratectomy and corneal tattooing for limbal dermoids.Medical records,including best-corrected visual acuity,anterior segment photography,demographic,clinical data,and follow-up information were reviewed.·RESULTS:The mean follow up period in this study was 50±15(range 36-77) months.There was no evidence of infection or recurrent limbal dermoids in any of the eyes during the follow-up period.All patients achieved good cosmetic outcomes with no complications.·CONCLUSION:Simple keratectomy and corneal tattooing of limbal dermoids could be an alternative option for surgery,especially when a donor cornea is not available.
