Summary:
Abstract. Objective: to present a clinical case of a rare pathology of the anterior segment of the eyeball —Thygeson's keratitis, diagnosed in a pediatric patient. There are isolated descriptions of this disease in the medical literature, especially in children's practice. The disease has a persistent recurrent character with an unclear etiology. This clinical case demonstrates a chronic course of the disease for three years with frequent relapses in a child from the age of 4 years and difficulties associated with the possibility of using anti-inflammatory steroids in pediatric ophthalmology. The diagnosis was based on a detailed collection of anamnesis, immunological examination of blood, features of the clinical picture of the disease and relief of the inflammatory process by prescribing dexamethasone in a dilution of 0.02%. As a result of treatment, stable positive dynamics was achieved in the form of a reduction in the number and duration of relapses and an increase in remission periods.
