摘要：
PURPOSE: To describe a case of transient, noninfectious crystalline keratopathy after postoperative subconjunctival 5-fluorouracil, METHOD: Case report. Slit-lamp biomicroscopic examinations were performed during serial office examinations. RESULTS: A 69-year-old woman underwent an uncomplicated trabeculectomy with adjunctive sponge 5-fluorouracil application for 5 minutes in her left eye. Postoperative treatment included topical prednisolone acetate, ciprofloxacin, and scopolamine, She was initially examined with intrastromal corneal crystalline deposits 5 days after her first postoperative subconjunctival injection of 5-fluorouracil, The deposits completely disappeared 4 days later without addition to or change in treatment. CONCLUSION: Transient, noninfectious, crystalline, intrastromal corneal deposits may develop after adjunctive subconjunctival 5-fluorouracil administration.
