Abstract

Introduction: Ocular rosacea (OR) is a chronic, inflammatory disorder covering a large spectrum of both eyelid and ocular surface manifestations, including meibomiam gland dysfunction (MGD), blepharoconjunctivitis (BC), corneal vascularisation and keratoconjunctivitis (KC).

Case Report: We report the case of a 13-year-old child who presented with a red painful right eye. Based on the clinical findings, we concluded that she had a corneal perforation on ocular rosacea. she benefited an corneal patch graft. The evolution was marked by a good healing and a good visual recovery despite a corneal scar.

Discussion: Ocular rosacea is a multifactorial disease, with an unclear physiopathology. Corneal involvement remains the least common, but the most challenging since serious complications can occur. Corneal perforation is the most severe. Several techniques have been reported and used in the management of corneal perforations such as conjunctival flap, amniotic membrane grafting, and the use of a corneal patch.

Conclusion: Ocular rosacea is a pathology that is still poorly understood and of delayed diagnosis. It can lead to serious vision-threatening complications such as corneal perforation. The corneal patch is a simple, effective and efficient technique that has given good results in our case.
