A puzzling case: conjunctivitis lignosa?
We describe the clinical history, histopathology and treatment of a two and a half year old boy. He presents with a chronic, unilateral and (pseudo) membranous conjunctivitis, preceded by ear-nose-throat problems and arthritis. The case was considered to be a ligneous conjunctivitis. Treatment consisted of repeated removal of the membranes, combined with topical hyaluronidase, alpha-chymotrypsin, cyclosporin, heparin and antibiotics, and was deceiving.
