ABSTRACT
An 8-week-old female infant presented with bilateral eyelid swelling and conjunctival membranes. She was diagnosed as having ligneous conjunctivitis. The membranes were excised but recurred despite topical cyclosporine, heparin, fresh frozen plasma, and systemic fresh frozen plasma transfusions. Topical plasminogen prevented membrane recurrence and intravenous plasminogen therapy treated systemic manifestations of the disease. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2018;55e30-e32.].
