ABSTRACT

We present herein the exceedingly uncommon case of a patient with cicatricial pemphigoid (CP) who gradually developed conjunctival, oral, and esophageal involvement. Despite long-term medical management with dapsone and disulone, the ocular lesions progressed to produce further scarring, which led to ankyloblepharon, symblepharon, and ultimately, blindness of the right eye. After a period of 5 years the patient developed a total esophageal stricture, intractable by dilation, necessitating esophageal reconstruction. The details of an original procedure using a continuous colic loop are described, highlighting the better tolerance of this technique by a high-risk patient. A discussion on the recent advances in diagnosing bullous dermatoses is presented following this case report.
