To report a complication, not previously described, of the Medennium SmartPLUG, which is a new punctal plug with a novel design.
Two case reports are detailed, including clinical and pathologic photographs.
Case 1 is a 58-year-old woman with Sjögren syndrome. Nearly 2 years following placement of a SmartPLUG in her right lower canaliculus, the patient presented with an erythematous, papillomatous growth overlying her punctum. Biopsy demonstrated pyogenic granuloma. Case 2 is a 62-year-old woman with dry eye. Exactly 2 years after a SmartPLUG was place in her right lower canaliculus, she also developed a pyogenic granuloma. After irrigation to remove the plug, the growth decreased in size.
Pyogenic granuloma can develop as a late complication of the Medennium SmartPLUG punctum plug.
报告一种此前未描述过的Medennium SmartPLUG并发症,这是一种具有新颖设计的新型泪小点塞。
详细介绍两例病例报告,包括临床和病理照片。
病例1为一名58岁的干燥综合征女性患者。在其右下泪小管植入SmartPLUG近2年后,患者的泪小点处出现了一个红斑性、乳头状肿物。活检显示为化脓性肉芽肿。病例2为一名62岁的干眼症女性患者。在其右下泪小管植入SmartPLUG恰好2年后,她也出现了化脓性肉芽肿。冲洗取出泪小点塞后,肿物尺寸减小。
化脓性肉芽肿可作为Medennium SmartPLUG泪小点塞的晚期并发症出现。
