PURPOSE: To report the problems and outcomes of penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) in @entity1 with @entity4 due to @entity10064 . METHOD: Case note review of nine such consecutive @entity1 treated with PKP. A Kaplan - Meir survival curve was plotted for the series. RESULTS: Nine @entity1 , ranging in age from 27 to 71 years at the time of their surgery were followed up for a mean of 28 months. All had undergone previous surgery for @entity726 . Preoperatively all @entity1 had controlled intraocular pressures, and four were on ocular @entity551 . Two @entity1 developed @entity177 at 15 and 41 months postoperative. Raised pressure was the cause in both. Final visual acuity improved in five @entity1 , was the same in three, and deteriorated in only one. Complications included raised intraocular pressure, @entity231 , @entity1713 , and @entity3225 secondary to an infected Molteno implant. CONCLUSION: Despite multiple impediments to @entity227 including previous surgery and pre-existing @entity16 , a successful outcome was achieved by careful @entity1 selection, and an awareness of, and meticulous @entity260 .
