Abstract
When a surgery to repair corneal perforation with corneal sequestration was performed in a cat, a deep corneal cleft along the ventral limbus was discovered. The cleft and perforation was sutured. The cornea around the cleft was clear, and no conjunctival hyperemia was seen, but this eyeball was excised at the owner’s request a week after surgery. The cleft had reached the middle of the lamina propria. Microscopic examination revealed the partial presence of epithelium deep in the cleft. The video images of the surgery 17 months before showed no lesion at the same site. This case is considered to have been an acquired, morphological abnormality.
