Abstract: Corneal sequestrum was diagnosed upon clinical examination of 12 cats. The cornea of seven were examined histologically and had focal necrosis and inflammation of the stroma and epithelium. As the simple excision of the corneal lesions had been unsuccessful in two of the cats, repair of these was effected by construction of a tarso-conjunctival pedicle flap after the excision of the sequestrum.
