Giant Ocular Horn Occurring in a 10-Year-Old Female

Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. 2017 May/Jun;33(3S Suppl 1):S52-S54. doi: 10.1097/IOP.0000000000000646.

Abstract

Cutaneous horns uncommonly involve the periocular region. Involvement of the ocular surface is particularly rare. The authors present a patient who underwent a perinatal buccal mucosal graft for corneal perforation due to congenital corneal ectasia, most likely resulting from Peters anomaly. She developed a giant ocular horn 10 years later.
