Unilateral Cicatrizing Conjunctivitis and Large Conjunctival Cyst After Preseptal Cellulitis in a 6-Year-Old Boy

Abstract

A case of unilateral cicatrizing conjunctivitis in a 6-year-old boy after preseptal cellulitis on the same side is described. An excisional biopsy of the cyst was performed and conjunctival tissue was sent for immunological examination. The authors concluded that preseptal cellulitis was associated with cicatrizing conjunctivitis in the patient. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus 2013;50:e47–e48.]
