Abstract

DIAZ RODRIGUEZ, Magela E et al. Ophthalmological manifestations of epidermolysis bulosa. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2014, vol.27, n.4, pp. 619-625. ISSN 1561-3070.

Epidermolysis bulosa is defined as genodermatosis involving a heterogenous group of blistering diseases in the skin and the mucosas, located in the epidermal basal membrane and the basal layer of the stratified, keratinized or mucosal epithelium, with resulting fragility of the skin and variable severity in its clinical presentation. The most common eye findings of this disease were described and shown. The treatment of epidermolysis bulosa should be multidisciplinary, paying special attention to the outer ocular surface to prevent alterations that may affect the vision.

Keywords : epidermolysis bulosa; genodermatosis; corneal scarring.
