Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the predominant occurrence of pterygium on the nasal side of the eye and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

Methods: A comprehensive review was conducted by searching the PubMed and Google Scholar databases for articles published from January 1990 to May 2023. Keywords used included "pterygium", "nasal side", "risk factors", "pathogenesis", and "review". Articles were selected based on their relevance to the pathogenesis of pterygium.

Results: This review identifies multiple factors that may contribute to the frequent occurrence of pterygium on the nasal side. These include increased exposure to ultraviolet light, genetic predispositions, tear film abnormalities, viral infections, allergic reactions, and habitual eye rubbing.

Conclusions: Comparing responses of the nasal and temporal conjunctiva to various physical and chemical stimuli could provide insight into the mechanisms driving this condition.

鼻侧翼状胬肉常见病例综述。
目的:探讨翼状胬肉主要发生在眼鼻侧,并阐明其发病机制。方法:通过检索PubMed和谷歌Scholar数据库,对1990年1月至2023年5月发表的文章进行综合评价。关键词包括“翼状胬肉”、“鼻侧”、“危险因素”、“发病机制”和“综述”。文章根据其与翼状胬肉发病机制的相关性进行选择。结果:本综述确定了可能导致鼻侧翼状胬肉频繁发生的多种因素。这些包括增加紫外线照射、遗传易感性、泪膜异常、病毒感染、过敏反应和习惯性揉眼睛。结论:比较鼻结膜和颞结膜对各种物理和化学刺激的反应可以深入了解导致这种情况的机制。
