A small broken grain of rice, conceived into a large "pearl" in 3 years, is tightly pressed on the eye, but this can make Chenchen (pseudonym) parents unhappy, because this is a corneconjunctival dermatoid tumor, and the longer the time, the greater the visual impairment. On October 31, Chen Chen waited for the cornea donated by a female college student, and with the help of Professor Liu Hongshan, a corneal disease specialist at Wuhan Puri Eye Hospital, successfully removed the corneal dermatoid tumor and performed corneal transplant surgery.
Chen Chen, who lives in Huangshi Daye, was born in 2018, bringing infinite joy and joy to the family, and his mother is more careful to take care of him. Just after the full moon, Chenchen's mother found that there was something like a grain of broken rice on the side of the child's left eye, so she took the child to the hospital for consultation, when the doctor suspected that it was a dermoid tumor, and told Chenchen's parents to wait for the child to be slightly older and then re-examine and confirm the diagnosis, and finally when Chenchen was half a year old, he was diagnosed with corneconjunctival dermatoma with broken rice grains turning into rice grains.
"After we learned that it was a dermoid tumor, we asked the doctor for consultation, all of which said that we would have to remove the cornea for transplantation." Chenchen's mother said that after the whole family learned of the situation, it was also very painful, but thinking that the doctor said that the child's disease was congenitally formed, and that not treating it in time would have an impact on his eye development and vision, she felt that she should be strong for the child.
ChenChen thrived under the careful care of her parents and grandparents. In the past three years, parents have been working hard to earn money outside, preparing to save money for their children's treatment, and also asking for medical treatment everywhere, and they are looking forward to a high-quality cornea from well-wishers to escort the child's light.
On October 26, the Wuhan Red Cross Society's Puri Cornea Library brought dawn to Chen Chen's family. Chenchen's parents recalled that on October 25, the doctor called them and told them that the cornea bank had received a donation of cornea from a female university who died of illness, and one of the pieces could be used for the child's transplant surgery, which made them excited. As a result, Chenchen's parents took leave to return to their hometown the next day, and successfully handled the admission in Wuhan Puri Eye Hospital on the 28th, completed all preoperative examination items on the 29th, and determined the surgical plan after consultation with corneal transplant experts.
Professor Liu Hongshan, a corneal disease expert at Wuhan Puri Eye Hospital, pointed out that Chenchen is a corneal dermoid tumor, which has gradually grown in the past three years, and there are fine hairs on the surface, which has affected the development of the cornea, and the vision development of the left eye is significantly lower than that of the right eye, if it is allowed to be more unfavorable to the child's fundus and vision development.
On October 31, Professor Liu Hongshan, a corneal disease expert at Wuhan Puri Eye Hospital, successfully removed the dermatoid tumor for three-year-old Xiao Chenchen and completed the corneal transplant surgery, and the later vision is expected to gradually improve to normal. Professor Liu Hongshan reminded that dermatoid tumor is a tumor-like congenital anomaly, is a typical blight from embryonic skin, about one in 100,000 incidence, generally surgical resection is the mainstay, mass excision combined with plate layer corneal sclera transplantation is the ideal way.
