Summary
Generalized nevus verrucosus treatment in a 27-year-old involved oculoplastic surgery, including lid plasties and lesion removal. The two-year therapy successfully cleared papillomatous lesions while preserving eyelid function and contour.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Dermatology
- Plastic Surgery
Background:
- Nevus verrucosus is a rare congenital skin condition that can affect the eyelids.
- Oculoplastic surgery offers reconstructive and cosmetic solutions for various eyelid abnormalities.
Observation:
- A 27-year-old patient presented with generalized nevus verrucosus affecting the eyelids.
- The lesions were characterized as papillomatous, requiring significant intervention.
Findings:
- A comprehensive oculoplastic treatment plan was implemented over two years.
- Therapeutic modalities included lid plasties, surgical excision, cauterization, and cryotherapy.
- The treatment achieved near-complete removal of papillomatous lesions.
Implications:
- This case highlights the successful application of combined oculoplastic techniques for extensive nevus verrucosus.
- Preservation of eyelid contour and function is achievable even with aggressive lesion removal.
- Effective management strategies can significantly improve patient outcomes for rare congenital conditions.
