Resumo |
Purpose: The methodology currently used for interpretation of the cornea and anterior segment tomography for the diagnosis of corneal ectasia and its susceptibility. Methods: Description of the methodology and clinical interpretation of corneal and anterior segment tomography indexes; report of three cases demonstrating the importance of this new diagnostic tool (Pentacam HR (R)) in ophthalmological practice. Conclusion: The use of corneal and anterior segment tomography seems to be an effective method to increase the sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis and early detection of corneal ectasia. |
