Ocular cicatricial pemphigoid
Keywords:
mucous membrane pemphigoid, ocular cicatricial pemphigoid, treatmentAbstract
Mucous membrane pemphigoid is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune bullous disease, which includes a purely ocular type known as ocular cicatricial pemphigoid. Throughout its clinical course, ocular cicatricial pemphigoid causes erosions and conjunctival damage; lesions which if not treated on time may evolve into blindness. We present three cases of ocular cicatricial pemphigoid, which were treated with systemic immunosupression and topical therapy.
