Surgical management of conjunctival lymphangiectasis by conjunctival resection.
PURPOSE: To report the treatment of symptomatic conjunctival lymphangiectasis with conjunctival resection. DESIGN: Interventional case series. METHODS: Retrospective review of three cases of patients with symptomatic unilateral conjunctival lymphangiectasis who had conjunctival resection of the involved tissue down to bare sclera. RESULTS: The surgical area reepithelialized without recurrence of the lymphatics. In all cases the patients have remained asymptomatic for at least 14 months. CONCLUSION: Conjunctival resection for symptomatic lymphangiectasis can be a successful therapeutic option for this condition.
