13. Tratamento cirurgico do pterigio primario : comparação entre as tecnicas de rotação de retalho conjuntival e transplante de membrana amniotica / Surgical treatment of the primary pterrygium : comparison between rotation of conjunctival flap and amniotic membrane transplant
Objetivo: Determinar se o transplante de membrana amniótica é um procedimento mais eficaz que a rotação de retalho conjuntival, no tratamento cirúrgico de pterígio primário, quanto à taxa de recidiva. Material e métodos: Foi realizado um estudo prospectivo, do tipo ensaio clínico randomizado, de 228 pacientes (228 olhos) com pterígio primário gra

14. Tratamento cirurgico do pterigio com transplante de membrana amniotica
Introduction: The Word pterygium originates from Greek and means ?small wing?. Scientifically, it?s defined as an invasive displasia of the bulbar conjunctiva on the corneal limb in the eye-slits fissure in a triangular shape and elevated meat aspect. Objective: Determine the best procedure for the surgical treatment of the primary pterygium related to the r

16. Simultaneous pterygium and intraocular surgery.
Fifteen patients were treated with simultaneous pterygium and intraocular surgery. Eleven of them had pterygium excision with cataract extraction, while four had pterygium excision with trabeculectomy. There was no evidence of increased risk of pterygium recurrence or of complications following cataract operation or trabeculectomy as a result of the combined

17. Role of mitomycin C in pterygium surgery.
Mitomycin C in the form of eye drops in a concentration of 0.4 mg/ml (0.04%) was used as adjunctive treatment for primary and recurrent pterygium after surgical excision. The study was concurrent in nature and consisted of 32 pterygia in 30 patients and was done over a period of 36 months. The object was to observe the effect of mitomycin C drops on pterygiu

18. Cell cycle kinetics in pterygium at three latitudes.
The cell cycle kinetics of 93 specimens of pterygial tissue, as well as 19 specimens of normal conjunctiva, from patients at three sites representing three different latitudes (Singapore, 1 degree; Hong Kong, 22 degrees; and Little Rock, Arkansas, 34 degrees) were evaluated by flow cytometry. The results showed no difference in cellular proliferation pattern

19. Surgery for pterygium using a conjunctival pedunculated flap slide.
Eight hundred and eighty patients (913 eyes) with primary pterygium who were surgically treated from 1983-93 were followed up for 5.7 years on average. Based on the large number of cases and a 10 year period of practice, it was found that pterygium excised with a pedunculated conjunctival flap slide was effective and safe in the treatment of primary pterygiu

20. An autosomal dominant multiple pterygium syndrome.
Three sibs and their mother with features of a multiple pterygium syndrome are reported. Inheritance in this family is consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance with great variation in severity between affected subjects. The importance of examining other family members closely in cases of multiple pterygium is emphasised.

21. Results of treatment with topical mitomycin C 0.02% following excision of primary pterygium.
AIMS--The effectiveness of instillation of mitomycin C eyedrops on the recurrence rate of pterygium was assessed in patients undergoing primary pterygium surgery. Any side effects were also noted. METHODS--Primary pterygia in 38 consecutive patients were surgically excised during July to December 1992. After surgery, mitomycin C 0.02% eyedrops twice daily fo

22. Winglets of the eye: dominant transmission of early adult pterygium of the conjunctiva.
A pterygium, a wing-like thickening, of the bulbar conjunctiva is of environmental interest because it can occur on prolonged exposure to wind and weather. We describe a family with pterygium in two generations without a history of unusual exposure to the elements. There were six females and five males (including a set of male twins) with seven bilateral and

23. Multiple pterygium syndrome.
The multiple pterygium syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive condition characterised by arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, pterygia of the neck, fingers, and antecubital, popliteal, and intercrural areas, growth retardation, and facial, vertebral, and genital anomalies. We present two unrelated patients of 17 and 6 years of age, respectively, affected with

24. Pterygium and ultraviolet radiation: a positive correlation.
Pterygium has long been believed to be an environmental disease, Ultraviolet (UV) radiation playing a major role in its development. In examination of more than 100 000 Aborigines and non-Aborigines in rural Australia a strong positive correlation between climatic UV radiation and pterygium prevalence was found, providing further evidence of a causal relatio
