Vortex Keratopathy as a Presenting Feature of Ocular Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid
Copyright © 2023 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved..
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to describe the presenting feature of vortex keratopathy in 3 patients with biopsy-proven ocular mucous membrane pemphigoid (OMMP).
METHODS: The first patient was a 52-year-old woman with chronic redness and foreign body sensation for 3 years who presented with unilateral vortex keratopathy. Seven months later, in the same eye, she developed conjunctival signs suggestive of OMMP. The second patient was a 33-year-old woman with similar chronic symptoms that were exacerbated by pterygium surgery. Clinical examination revealed vortex keratopathy in the right eye with subtle conjunctival signs suggestive of OMMP. The third patient was a 70-year-old woman with complaints of repeated episodes of redness and foreign body sensation for 18 months who presented with vortex keratopathy in the right eye and conjunctival signs suggestive of OMMP in the same eye. To confirm the clinical diagnosis, bilateral conjunctival biopsy was performed in all patients.
RESULTS: OMMP was diagnosed based on conjunctival signs and confirmed on direct immunofluorescence positivity, demonstrating antibodies characteristic and diagnostic of OMMP in the basement membrane zone. A unique feature that preceded or coexisted with the conjunctival signs was unilateral vortex keratopathy seen in all 3 patients, independent of the stage of the disease at which they presented.
CONCLUSIONS: Vortex keratopathy can be a presenting feature in patients with OMMP. A complete ocular surface examination, especially checking the medial canthus for keratin and the inferior fornix for foreshortening, is necessary. Conjunctival biopsy should be performed in all cases to confirm the clinical diagnosis wherever required.
