title: [Treatment of a neurotrophic corneal ulcer with solid platelet-rich plasma and Tutopatch®].
abstract: METHODS
  We present the case of a patient with neurotrophic queratitis in the left eye treated with a Tutopatch® cover and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Solid autologous PRP was placed in the bed of the ulcer and Tutopatch® was sutured to the conjunctiva.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We found this form of treatment very effective for progressive ulcers. Tutopatch® may constitute an alternative to amniotic membrane transplantation.
