[OCULAR MANIFESTATION OF STEVENS-JOHNSON SYNDROME].

Abstract

Introduction: Steven Johnson Syndrome (SJS) is a syndrome with a wide range of severity, primarily affecting the body's mucous membranes, including the eyes. Ocular involvement is common and typically consists of an acute phase followed by chronic complications. This article describes a case of a young 7-year-old patient who developed SJS and presented with numerous ocular complications associated with the disease. Additionally, a literature review of the ocular manifestations of the disease and their treatment is provided. This case demonstrates how timely and appropriate treatment of SJS, involving a multidisciplinary team, is essential. There are several treatment approaches for ocular involvement and ways to manage chronic complications; however, the most crucial aspect is the early identification and optimal treatment during the acute phase of the disease to prevent future chronic complications.
