Tranexamic acid-associated ligneous conjunctivitis with gingival and peritoneal lesions.

چکیده
A considerable number of agents have been proposed as causing ligneous conjunctivitis. We report the first case to arise as a side effect of tranexamic acid (Cyclokapron), an anti-fibrinolytic drug used in the treatment of menorrhagia. In addition to the typical conjunctival changes our patient had lesions affecting the gingiva and the peritoneum the last causing considerable protein loss into the peritoneal cavity.

Tranexamic acid-induced ligneous conjunctivitis with renal failure showed reversible hypoplasminogenaemia.
Ligneous conjunctivitis is a rare severe conjunctivitis characterised by fibrin-rich, 'woody', pseudomembranes on the tarsal conjunctiva complicated by congenital hypoplasminogenaemia. A previous report suggested that ligneous conjunctivitis may result from tranexamic acid (TA)-induced 'secondary' hypoplasminogenaemia. However, the serum plasminogen level has not been confirmed in that scenario...
متن کاملGingival swelling associated with hypoplasminogenemia
A middle-aged woman presented for evaluation of gingival swelling. She was previously diagnosed with hypoplasminogenemia and current plasminogen level was 29% (reference value: 78–130%). Intraoral examination revealed swelling of the right maxillary gingiva (Figure 1). Biopsy with routine histopathologic analysis revealed fibrinoid deposits and a mixed inflammatory infiltrate within the lamina ...

Ligneous conjunctivitis is a rare form of chronic pseudomembranous conjunctivitis that is associated with systemic membranous pathological changes. A probable link between plasminogen and ligneous conjunctivitis has been indicated by the recent diagnoses of plasminogen deficiency in five patients suffering from ligneous conjunctivitis. The current study reports that plasminogen-deficient mice d...

Ligneous conjunctivitis is a rare and unusual form of chronic homozygous G r A point mutation was identified in plasminogen exon 7 at position 780 leading to an amino acid pseudomembranous conjunctivitis that usually starts in early infancy. The disease may be associated with pseudoexchange (Arg216 r His). Her healthy sister and her healthy parents were heterozygous for this mutation. The secon...
متن کاملHomozygous mutations in the plasminogen gene of two unrelated girls with ligneous conjunctivitis.
Ligneous conjunctivitis is a rare and unusual form of chronic pseudomembranous conjunctivitis that usually starts in early infancy. The disease may be associated with pseudomembranous lesions of other mucous membranes in the mouth, nasopharynx, trachea, and female genital tract. We examined two unrelated Turkish girls both suffering from ligneous conjunctivitis and occlusive hydrocephalus. Both...
