Baseline treatment with latanoprost, subsequently switched to a fixed combination of bimatoprost and timolol maleate. Due to poor tolerance to the topical medication, which produced ocular surface problems and poor IOP control, it was decided to perform high-intensity focalized circular cycloablation in the LE utilizing the EyeOP1® HIFU device (Eye Tech Care, Rillieux-la-Pape, France) after a 20-day period for clearing the drug and intensive treatment with artificial tear substitute. A 12<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm probe was utilized.

It appears that self-immune processes mediated by cells and humors are found in this entity. The peripheral cornea exhibits differentiated immunological and morphological characteristics that predispose to an immune reaction against corneal antigens, the deposit of immunocomplexes in circulation and hypersensitivity reactions to exogenous antigens.</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">At the clinic level, in biomicroscopic studies PUK cases in initial stages show a discrete opacity in the area of the lesion due to cell infiltrates in the stroma adjacent the limbus, as in present case 2. Subsequently, a half-moon ulcer develops with epithelial defect and continues with the variable grade of vascularization and thinning of the corneal tissue. These findings were observed in the present case 1.</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A differential diagnostic should take into account entities as far apart as the Mooren ulcer, Terrien's marginal degeneration, herpetic keratitis and catarrhal and flictenular ulcer, these two being regarded by some authors as a variant of PUK.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a></p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A possible physiopathological theory that could explain the causality of cycloablation treatment in the appearance of PUK is the fact that the 2 present cases exhibited conjunctival and episcleral iatrogenic inflammatory processes inherent to the use of the EyeOP1® HIFU device, because in order to apply the treatment it is necessary to place over the perilimbal conjunctiva a cone-shaped ring that applies suction and also serves as support for the transducer. In addition, the surgeon must apply some pressure with the probe over the conjunctiva because, when ultrasound is applied, the discomfort experienced by the patient (which varies according to the applied systemic sedation) could lead to sudden eye movements, and it must be taken into account that this process lasts approximately 1 minute. The day after the intervention it is frequent to find conjunctival hyperemia and even sectorial hyposphagma, both with a duration of approximately one week. The authors believe that these findings could have triggered a subsequent PUK process. In support of the physiopathological theory of the authors, it should be taken into account that the hypothesis is that the limbus and the peri-limbar conjunctival constitute a reservoir for a range of immune system effector cells and pro-inflammatory cytokins which play a significant role in the immuno-pathogenesis of PUK. In addition, PUK frequently presents with conjunctival and episcleral inflammation, as well as scleral inflammation in some cases although in the 2 cases reported herein the latter was absent. In addition, the presence of said adjacent inflammation worsens the course of PUK.</p><p id="par0095" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A second possible explanation is based on previously published corneal complications secondary to cyclophotocoagulation with trans-scleral diode laser.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> The time of presentation of the corneal condition is similar to ours, between 20 and 32 days from treatment in the publication mentioned above and one month and a half in present case 1 (although it should have been before onset because the patient visited with advanced PUK) and 32 days in case 2. The authors propose that the corneal condition could have been caused by a lesion in the long ciliary nerves due to temperature elevation beyond the irradiated target tissue. According to the authors, in said cases an excessively high energy was applied over a large surface (an extension of 270–360°) and patients exhibited added risk factors. In addition, the condition was neurotrophic keratitis and not PUK as in the present cases. In the treatment applied by the authors, the circular shape of the probe followed the macroscopic anatomy of the ciliary body, thus enabling high coupling precision with the target tissue without injuring adjacent structures.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> In order to achieve a selective impact on the ciliary body, ultrasound is focused at a depth of 2<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm under the sclera. The treatment comprises only 45% of the entire ciliary body.</p><p id="par0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In case 1, the diagnostic was reached at an advanced stage of the disease despite the fact that the patient was at the time in treatment with tocilizumab, a monoclonal antibody that joins the cellular receptor of interleukin-6. This drug is part of a group of medicaments that has been proposed precisely for treating PUK. In case 2 the disease was diagnosed at the initial stage as demonstrated by the slight opacity in the compromised corneal area, with the patient responded positively to the prescribed treatment.</p><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It is clear that a higher number of patients with this complication is required to establish a causal relationship between ultrasound cycloablation and PUK in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. However, the authors believe that the corneal condition is severe to the extent that said possibility must be known.</p><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In the knowledge of the authors, the complications experienced by the 2 cases described above have not been previously described and should be taken into account when prescribing treatment in patients with rheumatoid arthritis as well as included in the informed consent for said intervention.</p></span><span id="sec0030" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0050">Funding</span><p id="par0115" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The present paper has not received specific funding from agencies of the public or private sectors or nonprofit institutions.</p></span><span id="sec0035" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0055">Conflict of interest</span><p id="par0120" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">None declared.</p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:10 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres1328699" "titulo" => "Abstract" "secciones" => array:1 [ 0 => array:1 [ "identificador" => "abst0005" ] ] ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1224531" "titulo" => "Keywords" ] 2 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres1328698" "titulo" => "Resumen" "secciones" => array:1 [ 0 => array:1 [ "identificador" => "abst0010" ] ] ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1224530" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 5 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "sec0010" "titulo" => "Clinic cases" "secciones" => array:2 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0015" "titulo" => "Case 1" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0020" "titulo" => "Case 2" ] ] ] 6 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0025" "titulo" => "Discussion" ] 7 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0030" "titulo" => "Funding" ] 8 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0035" "titulo" => "Conflict of interest" ] 9 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "fechaRecibido" => "2019-10-30" "fechaAceptado" => "2020-01-23" "PalabrasClave" => array:2 [ "en" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Keywords" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1224531" "palabras" => array:3 [ 0 => "Peripheral ulcerative keratitis" 1 => "Ultrasound-mediated cycloablation" 2 => "Rheumatoid arthritis" ] ] ] "es" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1224530" "palabras" => array:3 [ 0 => "Queratitis ulcerativa periférica" 1 => "Cicloablación por ultrasonidos" 2 => "Artritis reumatoide" ] ] ] ] "tieneResumen" => true "resumen" => array:2 [ "en" => array:2 [ "titulo" => "Abstract" "resumen" => "<span id="abst0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><p id="spar0020" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">The cases concern a corneal complication not previously described, to our knowledge, after the application of ultrasound-mediated circular cycloablation, in 2 cases of primary open-angle glaucoma in patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.</p></span>" ] "es" => array:2 [ "titulo" => "Resumen" "resumen" => "<span id="abst0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><p id="spar0025" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Presentamos una complicación corneal no descrita con anterioridad, según nuestro conocimiento, tras la aplicación de cicloablación circular mediada por ultrasonidos, en 2 casos de glaucoma primario de ángulo abierto en pacientes con antecedente de artritis reumatoide.</p></span>" ] ] "NotaPie" => array:1 [ 0 => array:2 [ "etiqueta" => "☆" "nota" => "<p class="elsevierStyleNotepara" id="npar0005">Please cite this article as: Pérez Silguero D, Pérez Silguero MÁ, Pérez-Silguero Jiménez S, Encinas Pisa P.
