Zusammenfassung
Senile scleral plaques are characterized by a calcification located at the insertion of the horizontal rectus muscles. As a possible cause for their development a combination of solar tissue damage and continuous mechanical stress is discussed. We present a case of a 76-year-old male whose wife noticed expulsion of a calcified scleral plaque while applying antiglaucoma eyedrops. The local ...
Zusammenfassung
Senile scleral plaques are characterized by a calcification located at the insertion of the horizontal rectus muscles. As a possible cause for their development a combination of solar tissue damage and continuous mechanical stress is discussed. We present a case of a 76-year-old male whose wife noticed expulsion of a calcified scleral plaque while applying antiglaucoma eyedrops. The local antiglaucoma therapy was stopped and acetacolamide was administered. Local therapy consisted of hyaluronic acid eyedrop and calcium pantothenate and retinol palmiate eye ointment. This treatment led to a rapid reepithelialization. The expulsion of calcified senile scleral plaques is a described complication which can necessitate surgical treatment.
