[Documentation of the clinical picture of keratoconjunctivitis atopica in constitutional neurodermatitis].

Among the author's patients a number of cases were identified with quite clear symptoms of atopic keratoconjunctivitis, and a photographic documentation was made. All of these patients had a history of allergy and a hereditary taint. In cooperation with dermatologists neurodermitis constitutionalis was diagnosed, and verified by determining the serum IgE concentration and the allergic specific antibody. The patients underwent conservative treatment with sodium cromoglycate, steroids and vasoconstrictors. In one case the authors used cryocoagulation with a successful result for intensive hyperplastic conjunctivitis.
