METHODS
We present the case of a 29 year-old man who came to the Emergency Department due to pain in the right eye. There was demonstrated a complete corneal de-epithelialisation. There was no clinical improvement after appropriate treatment, which was complicated by migraine and vomiting. The computerized tomography (CT) scan showed images suggestive of cerebral toxoplasmosis. After the complete tarsorrhaphy a restitution ad integrum was observed.
CONCLUSIONS
The diagnosis of a neurotrophic corneal ulcer due to an affected trigeminal nerve in the context of a cerebral toxoplasmosis, tarsorrhaphy is an effective procedure to take in account in corneal epithelial defects resistant to other treatments.
