Coming soonVernal keratoconjunctivitis is a severe, chronic, and typically recurrent allergic ocular inflammatory disorder that primarily affects children and young adolescents, with a notable male predominance.
It involves both the ocular surface and anterior segment structures, specifically the conjunctiva and cornea, and frequently exhibits seasonal exacerbations during warm spring and summer months before potentially transitioning to a perennial pattern.
The condition is mediated by both IgE- and T-cell-driven hypersensitivity pathways, accompanied by extensive eosinophil activation and ocular remodeling.
Hallmark clinical manifestations include intense ocular pruritus, photophobia, thick ropy mucous discharge, giant cobblestone papillae on the superior tarsal conjunctiva, gelatinous limbal infiltrates with Horner-Trantas dots, and sight-threatening corneal complications such as punctate keratitis or shield ulcers.
