Congenital pterygium.

چکیده
A boy aged 4 years was brought to the hospital on September 21, 1956, for examination of the right eye, as there was a fleshy pterygium growing from the inner angle of the palpebral fissure on to the cornea. The pterygium had been noticed at the time of birth. Apart from the grandmother, who had had a right pterygium commencing at the age of 40, no other member of the family was affected in this way. The pterygium had remained almost stationary for 2 years, and had then started to grow and to encroach further on to the cornea.
