RESUMO
Ocular cicatricial pemphigoid (OCP) is a rare autoimmune disease with heterogenous clinical manifestations. The classical lesion involves ocular conjunctiva that leads to progressive scarring and fibrosis which ultimately results in visual loss. We report a case of a young male, who had chronic conjunctivitis which remained un-responsive to conventional treatment and results in significant morbidity. Later, it was diagnosed as ocular cicatricial pemphigoid involving eyes, nasal cavity, larynx as well as skin. Patient received immuo-suppressive therapy, which helped in arresting the disease process.
