Zusammenfassung: | To report the treatment of symptomatic conjunctival lymphangiectasis with conjunctival resection.
Interventional case series.
Retrospective review of three cases of patients with symptomatic unilateral conjunctival lymphangiectasis who had conjunctival resection of the involved tissue down to bare sclera.
The surgical area reepithelialized without recurrence of the lymphatics. In all cases the patients have remained asymptomatic for at least 14 months.
Conjunctival resection for symptomatic lymphangiectasis can be a successful therapeutic option for this condition. |
