Pseudopterygium is a non-progressive conjunctival adhesion to the peripheral cornea secondary to a corneal-limbus damage. According to the literature, the main etiology is a previous eye trauma. Nevertheless, this could be biased by the existence of other underdiagnosed causes of pseudopterygium, some of which may have severe consequences for the integrity of the eye and patient's life. This comprehensive literature review was performed based on a search on the PubMed and Google Scholar databases of relevant pseudopterygium published papers according to our current knowledge and seeks to gather the existing evidence about its diverse etiologies and clinical features, as well as to propose a diagnostic algorithm to simplify its correct approach.
假性翼状胬肉是一种继发于角膜缘损伤的非进行性结膜与周边角膜的粘连。根据文献，主要病因是既往眼外伤。然而，这可能因存在其他未被充分诊断的假性翼状胬肉病因而有偏差，其中一些病因可能对眼睛的完整性和患者生活产生严重后果。本综合性文献综述是根据我们目前的知识，在PubMed和谷歌学术数据库中搜索相关的假性翼状胬肉发表论文后进行的，旨在收集关于其多样病因和临床特征的现有证据，并提出一种诊断算法以简化其正确的诊断方法。
