Symblepharon Following Seizure: Clinical Case Scenario and Review of Literature

Abstract

A 5-year old girl had generalized convulsion that lasted 5 minutes following a febrile illness. Two weeks after, she presented with symblepharon involving the medial part of lower lid, bulbar conjunctiva and caruncle. Patient had a successful surgical synechiolysis and fornix maintained with regular rodding. It was concluded that symblepharon and other avoidable complications can follow a poorly managed seizure spell.
