title: [Intracameral fibrin glue in spontaneous corneal perforation].
abstract: METHODS
  A 70-year-old male was referred to our department due to a herpetic corneal perforation in the left eye. The perforation was healed with intracameral fibrin tissue sealant (Tissucol(®)), an amniotic membrane, and a large diameter soft contact lens. Postoperatively there were complete dissolution of the fibrin sealant and closure of the perforation without endothelial damage.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Intracameral fibrin glue may be effective in the closure of corneal perforations.
