開瞼手術により即視力を回復し得た高度の瞼球結膜癒着例について

Recovery of Vision through Surgery for Ankyloblepharon. Report of a Case.

I．緒言

　皮膚疾患と眼疾患，特に角結膜疾患は，その解剖学的な近似性からも，非常に密接な関係をもつており，近時Muco-cutaneo-ocular Syndromeをはじめとし，多くの症例が報告されている。

　最近著者も極めて高度の眼瞼・瞼球結膜癒着を両眼に来たしたが，幸いにして，眼球そのものは健全に保存され，瞼球癒着剥離手術即開眼手術という興味ある症例を経験したので，ここに報告する。

A case is reported over a 34-year-old fema-le in whom sufficient vision could be recover-ed through surgery for ankyloblepharon in both eyes.

The patient had had full vision until recent-ly, when she underwent tooth; extraction. Two days later she developed high fever, generalized exanthema, vesicle formation in the oral mucosa and acute pseudomembranous conjunctivitis. While the cutaneous condition healed without residual disturbances, the ocu-lar condition developed into extensive ankylo-blepharon with diminished vision to perception of hand movement at 50cm in each eye three months after the incident.
