To report a case of scleral melting noted 16 years after pterygium excision with postoperative adjuvant topical Mitomycin C (MMC).
Case report.
A 61-year-old Malay gentleman underwent right nasal pterygium excision using bare sclera technique followed by topical MMC 0.1% for a week, 16 years ago. He was noted to have a right nasal scleral thinning with calcified plaque and granuloma. He was successfully treated conservatively without further progression of the scleral melting.
Long-term complication of pterygium excision with adjuvant topical Mitomycin C may occur. The case shows that early detection and recognition of the complication can be sight saving.
报告1例翼状胬肉切除术后使用辅助性局部丝裂霉素C(MMC)16年后出现巩膜溶解的病例。
病例报告。
16年前,一名61岁的马来族男性患者采用巩膜裸露技术行右侧鼻侧翼状胬肉切除术,随后使用0.1%的局部MMC一周。发现他右侧鼻侧巩膜变薄,伴有钙化斑块和肉芽肿。他接受保守治疗成功,巩膜溶解未进一步发展。
翼状胬肉切除联合辅助性局部丝裂霉素C可能会出现长期并发症。该病例表明,早期发现和识别这种并发症可挽救视力。
