ABSTRACT
ABSTRACTA 6-month-old female infant presented to our clinic with bilateral eyelid swelling, yellowish-white membranes under both lids, and mucoid ocular discharge. Her aunt had similar ocular problems that were undiagnosed. The conjunctival membranes were excised and histopathological investigation of these membranes showed ligneous conjunctivitis. Further, laboratory examination revealed plasminogen deficiency. A good response was observed to topical fresh frozen plasma (FFP) treatment without systemic therapy, and the membranes did not recur during the treatment. Topical FFP treatment may facilitate rapid rehabilitation and prevent recurrence in patients with ligneous conjunctivitis.
RESUMO
RESUMOUma criança feminina com seis meses de idade se apresentou à nossa clínica com edema palpebral bilateral, membranas brancas amareladas sob as pálpebras de ambos os olhos e descarga mucosa. Sua tia já havia apresentado problemas oculares semelhantes que não foram diagnosticados. As membranas conjuntivais foram excisadas e a investigação histopatológica das membranas demonstraram conjuntivite lenhosa. O diagnóstico de deficiência de plasminogênio foi obtido a partir de um exame laboratorial. Tratamento tópico com plasma fresco congelado (FFP) sem qualquer terapia sistêmica mostrou boa resposta. Não foram observadas recorrências das membranas. O tratamento tópico com FFP pode ajudar a reabilitação rápida e prevenir a recorrência em pacientes com conjuntivite lenhosa.
