Keratinization of the conjunctiva

A E Maumenee

    Transactions of the American Ophthalmological Society
    |January 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Conjunctival keratinization, a condition affecting the eyelid lining, can result from various factors like medication sensitivity or Stevens-Johnson syndrome. This summary explores its development and treatment options.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Cell Biology
    • Tissue Engineering

    Background:

    • Keratinization of the tarsal conjunctiva, the inner lining of the eyelid, can occur despite adequate tear production.
    • This condition is associated with diverse etiological factors, including topical medication sensitivity, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and radiation exposure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the morphogenesis of conjunctival keratinization.
    • To discuss therapeutic strategies for managing this ocular condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical conditions leading to conjunctival keratinization.
    • Discussion of the cellular and tissue changes involved in the condition's development.
    • Analysis of existing and potential treatment modalities.

    Main Results:

    • Keratinized cells on the conjunctiva lead to epithelial keratitis.
    • Subsequent corneal vascularization is a common consequence of this process.
    • The study details the step-by-step development (morphogenesis) of the condition.

    Conclusions:

    • Conjunctival keratinization is a complex condition with multifactorial causes.
    • Therapeutic interventions such as mucous membrane grafting and tissue freezing show promise.
    • Understanding the morphogenesis is crucial for effective clinical management.
