5-Fluorouracil in primary, impending recurrent and recurrent pterygium: Systematic review of the efficacy and safety of a surgical adjuvant and intralesional antimetabolite.

The ocular surface, 2022
Pterygium is an ultraviolet-related disease characterized by an aberrant, wing-shaped and active wound-healing process. There is nothing quite as disheartening for the surgeon or patient as the recurrence of pterygium and various adjuvants have been ...

Multiple pterygium syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1980
AbstractWe describe a sporadic case and four sibs from a consanguineous Nicaraguan family affected with the multiple pterygium syndrome. Clinical manifestations included normal intelligence; short stature; pterygia of neck, axillary, antecubital, popliteal, digital, and intercrural areas; multiple joint contractures with a crouched stance; a flat, sad,

Popliteal Pterygium Syndrome

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1986
Popliteal pterygium syndrome is rare, with 50 cases described in the literature. Three additional cases are reported. The syndrome includes a popliteal web extending from the ischium to the heel associated with toenail dysplasia, eventual deformities of the foot and toes, and oral cavity abnormalities, such as cleft palate or lip pits.

Popliteal pterygium syndrome

International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 1988
A syndrome of popliteal pterygium, cleft lip-palate, lower lip pits, eyelid adhesions, genito-urinary anomalies and digital anomalies is presented as the Popliteal pterygium syndrome. The hereditary pattern appears to be an autosomal dominant trait with incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity.

Familial pterygium syndrome

Clinical Genetics, 1980
Two sisters affected with the same disorder are described. They had webbing of the neck, the antecubital fossae and the popliteal regions, together with flexion deformities of the limb joints and anomalies of the vertebrae. Eight other cases are known. The condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive mode.

Treatment of pterygium

Annals of African Medicine, 2011
The treatment of ocular pterygium has been subjected to the development and application of various new strategies in the last few years. The worrisome problem of recurrence seems to have been significantly reduced with the newer methods of treatment. The field is however, still evolving.

Pterygium in Qatar

Ophthalmologica, 1977
The incidence of pterygium in Qatar is 6.2%, which is less than expected. Laying stress on the climatic conditions, the etiological factors have been discussed. 450 cases of pterygia were operated on by a modified bare scleral technique followed by beta-irradiation. No recurrence occurred in 90% following the first operation.
