Abstract
Mooren's ulcer is a chronic, painful ulceration of unknown etiology beginning in the corneal periphery and progressing relentlessly, first circumferentially and then centrally, to involve the entire cornea. The treatment of Mooren's ulcer has had limited sucess. We have experienced a case of bilateral Mooren's ulcer in 68-year-old female, who has been poor general condition. Delimiting lamellar keratectomy and conjunctival excision have been performed. Excised tissues have been examined by histopathologic and immunopathologic method. A brief review of literature is discribed.
