Abstract

The authors present a case of vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) in 5 years old boy. Despite intensive topical pharmacological therapy unsatisfied reduction of the symptoms was observed and cornea became involved in the left eye (LE).

Repeated surgical abrasion of the papaillary hypertrophy was performed with temporaly relief. We decided to provide a cryocoagulation of the papillary hypertrophy in the LE.

We did not see any pre and post operative complications, significant improvement wasa observed and the patient is now in a good condition, on mast cell stabilizers only.
