Özet
Ligneous conjunctivitis is a rare form of chronic conjunctivitis. Mostly seen in childhood, it is characterized by the formation of fibrin-rich pseudomembranes in the tarsal conjunctiva. Plasminogen deficiency plays an important role in its etiology. There is no standart treatment protocol for managing this challenging condition, which can, with corneal involvement, lead to blindness. We present twin babies with ligneous conjunctivitis managed with fresh frozen plasma, topical heparin, and topical cyclosporine, without surgical excision of membranes.
