Article Synopsis
  • Surgeries for children with idiopathic uveitis and juvenile arthritis are risky due to potential inflammatory issues post-operation, and there's no agreed approach to managing treatments during this time.
  • A study was conducted in six French hospitals from 2006 to 2018 involving 76 surgeries on 37 children, examining the impact of continuing or stopping immunosuppressive therapies.
  • Results indicated that stopping immunotherapy before surgery led to a 100% relapse rate within three months, while only 25% experienced relapse when therapies were maintained, suggesting it's safer to continue treatment.*

Benign conjunctival tumors include congenital, melanocytic, epithelial and stromal lesions. Clinical observation often fails to make the diagnosis, and complete excisional biopsy must be performed as soon as growth is suspected. Histology remains the best way to exclude malignancy or lesions with a risk of transformation, because malignant lesions carry a poor prognosis and require specific therapy and follow-up.
