Abstract

A 65-year-old man had undergone nasal pterygium excision with mitomycin-C on the left eye 3 years ago, applied to our clinic with decreased visual acuity and severe ocular pain for 6 months. In ocular examination; the sclera, at the site of prior pterygium excision, showed significant thinning with uveal show. There was active inflammation adjacent to the site of thinning, including conjunctiva. A diagnosis of necrotizing scleritis was made and prompt treatment was started with systemic corticosteroids and non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs. Although medical treatment, the symptoms were not decreased and the patient underwent debridement of necrotic tissue and corneal-scleral patch graft. After surgery, the conjunctival and scleral inflammation had decreased. Any complication was not observed 2 year follow- up of patient

Özet

Sol gözünden 3 yıl önce mitomisin-C ile pterjium ameliyatı geçiren 65 yaşında erkek hasta 6 aydır gözünde şiddetli ağrı ve görme keskinliğinde azalma nedeniyle kliniğimize başvurdu. Yapılan oftalmolojik muayenede pterjium eksizyon alanında sklerada incelme ve bu alanda konjonktivayı da içine alan aktif inflamasyon mevcuttu. Altta üveal refle belirginleşmişti. Hastaya nekrotizan sklerit tanısı ile sistemik kortikosteroid ve steroid olmayan antiinflamatuar tedavi başlandı. Medikal tedaviye rağmen bulgularda gerileme olmayınca hastaya nekrotik doku debridmanı ve kornea-skleral yama grefti ameliyatı uygulandı. Operasyon sonrası inflamasyonda gerileme görüldü. İki yıllık takiplerde herhangi komplikasyon izlenmedi
