Pterygium should be differentiated from pinguecula, which is histologically and etiologically similar to pterygium. [17] [18] Unlike pterygium, pinguecula is seen only on the conjunctiva, it will not progress to limbus or cornea. Another condition which is similar to pterygium is inflammatory adhesion of conjunctiva to cornea known as ...
A pinguecula is a common type of conjunctival stromal degeneration in the eye. It appears as an elevated yellow-white plaque in the bulbar conjunctiva near the limbus. [ 1 ] Calcification may also be seen occasionally.
Popliteal pterygium syndrome, a congenital condition affecting the face, limbs, or genitalia but named after the wing-like structural anomaly behind the knee. Pterygium (eye) or surfer's eye, a growth on the cornea of the eye. Pterygium colli or webbed neck, a congenital skin fold of the neck down to the shoulders.
Difference between pterygium and pseudopterygium Pterygium Pseudopterygium Etiology Degenerative process: Inflammatory process Age Common in adults [5] Occur in any age Site Horizontally, most commonly nasally [4] Anywhere Status Progressive(commonly) or stationary [5] Always stationary Neck Adherent to limbus [5] Free Probe test
inflamed pterygium [9] – a benign, triangular, horizontal growth of the conjunctiva, arising from the inner side, at the level of contact of the upper and lower eyelids, associated with exposure to sunlight, low humidity and dust. It may be more common in occupations such as farming and welding.
Image of a human eye showing the blood vessels of the bulbar conjunctiva Hyperaemia of the superficial bulbar conjunctiva blood vessels. In the anatomy of the eye, the conjunctiva (pl.: conjunctivae) is a thin mucous membrane that lines the inside of the eyelids and covers the sclera (the white of the eye). [1]
A limbal nodule is any nodular lesion at the limbus (junction of the cornea and sclera) of the eye.. The differential diagnosis for a limbal nodule can include: . Pinguecula; Early Pterygium
Most conjunctivochalasis is thought to be caused by both a gradual thinning and stretching of the conjunctiva that accompanies age and a loss of adhesion between the conjunctiva and underlying sclera as the result of dissolution of Tenon's capsule.
