A case of periocular pyoderma gangrenosum successfully managed with the aid of hyperbaric oxygen therapy

Abstract

Pyoderma gangrenosum is an uncommon, noninfective, ulcerative disorder that most commonly affects the skin. We present a case of severe, unilateral periocular PG that was managed, in part, with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. We review the existing literature associated with this rare presentation and hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a treatment modality.
