Superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis (SLK) is characterized as an inflammation of the superior bulbar conjunctiva with predominant involvement of the superior limbus and adjacent epithelial keratitis.
A 51-year-old woman, with a history of medically controlled Graves' disease was seen with an extensive SLK involving 5 mm of the superior cornea.
Total remission was observed with topical steroids (DXM). Recurrence was observed 1 week after steroid discontinuation, and steroidal treatment was reintroduced with tapering over 1 month. Total remission was then observed for 1 year.
Extensive keratitis and vascular pannus in SLK is rarely reported. This form could be treated with topical steroids. Tapering treatment remains essential for long-term success.
上睑缘角结膜炎(SLK)的特征是上睑球结膜炎症,主要累及上角膜缘和相邻的上皮性角膜炎。
一名51岁女性,有药物控制的格雷夫斯病病史,因广泛的SLK累及上方角膜5mm前来就诊。
局部使用类固醇(地塞米松)后观察到完全缓解。停用类固醇1周后观察到复发,随后重新引入类固醇治疗并在1个月内逐渐减量。然后观察到完全缓解持续1年。
SLK中广泛的角膜炎和血管翳很少见。这种类型可以用局部类固醇治疗。逐渐减量治疗对于长期成功仍然至关重要。
