TitrePyogenic granuloma in population of Congolese patients
Abstract Nr.2025
ButTo determine the frequency of pyogenic granuloma in the population of Congolese patients.
Méthodes We performed a retrospective cross-sectional and descriptive analysis of the data collected between January 2005 and August 2016 from patients diagnosed with pyogenic granuloma, in an outpatient eye clinic, a general ophthalmology practice.The diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma was based on clinical presentation with confirmation by histologic examination in most of cases.
RésultatsOut of 17469 patients seen during the study period, 21 patients (21 eyes) were diagnosed with pyogenic granuloma, for a frequency of 0.12%. The mean age of the patients with pyogenic granuloma was 31 years (range, 4 to 60 years). Male were more frequently diagnosed with pyogenic granuloma than female (67% vs. 33%). Delay of diagnosis was 52 days (range, 3 to 360 days). All pyogenic granuloma are unilateral and involved 13 RE (62%) and 8 LE (38%).The main chief complaint was swelling. Pyogenic granuloma was associated with history of trauma (4 eyes), pterygium surgery (4 eyes), curettage of chalazion (one eye) and use of Mitomycine eyedrops (one eye). Most of pyogenic granuloma were nodular. Pyogenic granuloma involved the bulbar conjunctiva in 11 eyes (nasal side, in 10 eyes; temporal side, in one eye) and the palpebral conjunctiva in 10 eyes (upper eyelid, one eye; lower eyelid, 9 eyes).
ConclusionThe frequency of pyogenic granuloma is low in this study. Male were more diagnosed with pyogenic granuloma than female.
