영문 초록

Purpose: This clinical report describes the characteristics and ophthalmic treatment of a patient with anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia showing bilateral upper eyelid entropion, conjunctival mass and dry eye syndrome. Methods: A 12-year-old boy presented to our clinic complaining of a white mass on the lower tarsal conjunctiva, foreign body sensation, and an itching in his right eye of one-year duration. He had developmental defects in his hair, teeth, nails and sweat glands. He had dry skin, a flat upper-lip, heat intolerance, a saddle-backed nose, and hypohidrosis. Ophthalmic examination showed blepharitis, a conjunctival mass, and bilateral upper eyelid entropion. Results: Upper eyelid entropion surgery was performed. An excisional biopsy of the conjunctival mass showed nonspecific acute and chronic inflammation. Conclusions: We concluded that the conjunctival mass developed as a result of chronic inflammation caused by chronic conjunctivitis and dry eye syndrome. Regular lid-hygiene with swab and lubrication is useful to minimize recurrent ocular inflammation in anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
