Overview

The authors present a case of vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) in 5 years old boy. Despite intensive topical pharmacological therapy (mast-cell stabilizers, antihistamines, steroids in acute exacerbations) unsatisfied reduction of the symptoms was observed and cornea became involved in the left eye (LE). Repeated surgical abrasion of the papillary 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 was observed and the patient is now (13 months after the surgery) in a good condition, on mast cell stabilizers only.

Key words:
vernal keratoconjunctivitis, treatment, cryocoagulation
