What is congenital leukoplakia

Congenital leukoplakia is more common in the cornea** and sometimes in the periphery. Here's a quick introduction. Congenital leukoplakia**:

It is caused by the failure or delay of the separation of the crystalloid vesicle from the ectoderm of the body during the fetal period, or as a result of adhesion between the pupillary membrane and the cornea of the mesoderm. Clinical manifestations of congenital corneal leukoplakia: 20% of patients have both eyes, and about 50% have glaucoma and cataracts.

Slit-lamp examination can show a defect in the posterior surface of the ** area, accompanied by opacity and white patches in the corresponding area, often accompanied by anterior iris adhesions, iris defects, pupillary remnants or small eyeballs, etc. Key points in the diagnosis of congenital corneal leukoplakia: 1. At birth, the corneal stromal layer appears thick gray-white opacity, which can be partial or full thick.

2. Often combined with microphthalmia, iris defect and anterior and posterior adhesions. 3. It can occur in one or both eyes. Congenital leukoplakia**:

Most have no special effects** and are permanently disabled. Early partial penetrating keratoplasty may be considered in individual patients. In short, parents must understand that once the child has congenital keratitis, it should be carried out as soon as possible.

Vitiligo is a common ophthalmological disease, usually due to the formation of trauma or infection on the cornea, and the scar tissue left after healing. If the scar tissue is relatively dense, it is called corneal leukoplakia, which has a greater impact on vision. If the scar tissue is light, it is called corneal cloud, which usually has less impact on vision.

For the condition of corneal leukoplakia, at present** there are two main ways: laser and surgery. For cases where the location of corneal leukoplakia is relatively shallow and the area is relatively small, laser surgery can be considered**. A laser is used to remove the lesion cornea with leukoplakia so that the cornea becomes transparent.

However, for corneal leukoplakia, which is relatively dense and deep, there is no way to completely remove it through laser surgery. If the corneal leukoplakia is large and has a great impact on vision, corneal transplantation can only be considered.

Leukoplakia is a complication of infectious corneal disease or corneal trauma. Serious impact on vision, only through corneal transplantation**! In order to restore vision to more patients with corneal disease, corneal leukoplakia is a complication of infectious keratopathy or corneal trauma.

Serious impact on vision, only through corneal transplantation**!

The cornea is located at the very front of the refractive system of the eyeball, and is often exposed to the air, and is exposed to bacteria, viruses and other pathogenic microorganisms, which is more prone to infection and trauma. Corneal leukoplakia is a localized white opacity that remains of various corneal diseases. Leukoplakia occurs in the pupil area and impairs vision.

Corneal leukoplakia occurs in infancy and early childhood and is prone to the formation of deprivation amblyopia.

Corneal scarring: When the corneal ulcer reaches the clean stage, the connective tissue in the cornea proliferates, repairs the defect, and the ulcer heals, forming a scar. If the ulcer is small and superficial, involving only the epithelial cell layer, the cornea can be completely clear.

If the Descemet's membrane and corneal parenchyma are superficially affected, a dense, cloudy scar remains. The opacity is initially dull and then increases in concentration, but never crosses the edge of the ulcer. The disappearance of corneal scarring is limited to infants, and it is not possible at a slightly older age, and it will inevitably leave a permanent scar, which will cause visual impairment.

The deeper the corneal ulcer, the denser the scar of connective tissue formation. The thin scar is called corneal pannu, the thicker is called pannu, and the thick and dense is called leukoplakia. Corneal leukoplakia not only seriously affects vision, but also affects the patient's appearance.

Corneal leukoplakia is caused by congenital problems, as well as acquired trauma, infection problems, congenital corneal leukoplakia is more common in the cornea**, sometimes it can also occur with the periphery. You still need to check it, this is the need to be positive**, if the drug is conservative** does not work, you need to consider corneal transplantation.

If it's on the surface of the dark eyeball (cornea), it may be corneal cloud, or corneal leukoplakia. If it is inside the black eyeball, it is likely to be a congenital cataract. But both of these eye diseases can affect vision. These conditions are generally not hereditary.

Hello, is corneal leukoplakia serious? Corneal transplantation is required for the development of leukoplakia to a certain extent, and cataract also requires lens replacement surgery to improve vision.

It is more difficult to do cornea transplant in China, mainly because there is no donor, waiting for a donor takes a long time, and some may not wait for a lifetime, I saw on a ** called Dada Medical News that it is very convenient to do organ transplantation, especially corneal transplantation, in Singapore, and the average waiting time for cornea donation is one to two weeks, because Singapore has a cornea bank (SEB) dedicated to transplantation, which not only ensures the legality of the cornea**, but also ensures that patients can be transplanted to the best quality cornea. The corneas of the Singapore Eye Bank have local donations and internationally recognized US eye banks. Donor corneas can be used by both Singaporeans and non-Singaporeans who have undergone transplant surgery in Singapore.

Corneal leukoplakia is, by its very nature, corneal scarring. If the corneal leukoplakia is very small or located in the periphery of the cornea, and does not affect the vision, in this case, it generally does not need to be treated, if the range of corneal leukoplakia is large, or located in the optical **, in this case, it will have a very large impact on vision, and vision can be improved through corneal transplantation. Therefore, if there is corneal leukoplakia in the eye, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible, and decide whether it needs treatment and the specific treatment plan according to the degree of impact of corneal leukoplakia on vision.

Don't go blindly, or go to a hospital without diagnosis and treatment qualifications, which is easy to cause delays in the condition.

Corneal leukoplakia is the most common disease in ophthalmology, infection and trauma can be caused, which not only affects the aesthetics but also affects the visual function, especially young people have great harm to physical and mental health.
