  • Title: Treatment of Mooren's ulcer by conjunctival excision.
    Author: Chihara E, Nishi R, Asayama K, Tsukahara I.
    Journal: Ophthalmologica; 1979; 179(5):258-64. PubMed ID: 545192.
    Abstract:
    3 early Mooren's ulcers were successfully treated by only one-time conjunctival excision adjacent to the ulcer, while in 2 other chronic vascularized Mooren's ulcers, repeated conjunctival excision was required for a final remission. The clinical outcome of these 5 eyes was better than that of 7 other eyes treated by conjunctival flap procedure, lamellar keratoplasty, topical eye drops or systemic medications. Four fragments of excised conjunctival tissue were examined histopathologically; the substantia propria was found to be infiltrated with plasma cells.
