Sumario: | We aimed describe the chronic ocular sequelae of Kindler syndrome. All cases of Kindler syndrome with ocular involvement that presented to a tertiary eye care center were included. Three cases of Kindler syndrome with ocular changes were reviewed. Case 1 (10 years, female) had recurrent epithelial breakdown with severe dry eye and corneal opacity secondary to keratitis. Case 2 (28 years, male) had symblepharon , ocular surface keratinization , and severe dry eye. Case 3 (16 years , female ) had partial limbal stem cell deficiency with dry eye. All cases were treated with topical lubricants, short course of low-potency steroids and immuno-modulators. Attention must be paid to the eye in addition to the oro-an-genital mucosa to avoid longterm ocular sequelae. |
