Abstract
- Ocular cicatricial pemphigoid isa chronic, progressive disease characterized by cicatricial shrinkage of the conjunctiva, entropion, trichiasis, xerosis, and finally reduced vision from corneal opacification. It is a relatively rare, autoimmune disease. In the early stages, it can be easily overlooked as simple chronic conjunctivitis, so it can be untreated. We report a case of ocular cicatricial pemphigoid that resulted in significant morbidity. We were able to control the progression of cicatrization with aggressive immunosuppressive therapy.
