Zusammenfassung: | Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are mucocutaneous diseases featured by severe sequelae and high mortality rates. In addition to ocular involvement, gynecological involvement is often observed in patients with TEN with possible occurrence of partial or complete adhesions of the labia majora, labia minora, and vaginal walls as severe sequelae. Although the gynecological sequelae of TEN severely affect patients' quality of life, there is a lack of awareness among medical professionals. Moreover, preventive measures and the effectiveness of treatment have not yet been fully verified. Herein, we describe a case of TEN with severe sequelae of eyelid and vaginal adhesions. |
