Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Diseases
  • Conjunctival Disorders

Background:

  • Pseudopterygium is a non-progressive conjunctival adhesion to the peripheral cornea.
  • It typically results from corneal-limbus damage, with prior eye trauma being the commonly cited etiology.
  • However, underdiagnosed causes may exist, potentially leading to severe ocular complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively review the diverse etiologies of pseudopterygium.
  • To delineate the clinical features associated with pseudopterygium.
  • To propose a diagnostic algorithm for the accurate and simplified management of pseudopterygium.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review was conducted.
  • Searches were performed on PubMed and Google Scholar databases.
  • Relevant published papers on pseudopterygium were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Eye trauma is the most frequently reported cause of pseudopterygium.
  • Several underdiagnosed etiologies with potentially severe consequences were identified.
  • Distinct clinical presentations and features of pseudopterygium were observed.

Conclusions:

  • Pseudopterygium etiology is likely more diverse than commonly recognized.
  • Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for preventing severe ocular complications.
  • The proposed diagnostic algorithm aims to improve the clinical approach to pseudopterygium.
