Introduction: Symblepharon is a lesion on the ocular surface associated or not with ocular adnexa damage.
Symblepharon is characterized by the formation of an adhesion between the palpebral conjunctiva and the bulbary
conjunctiva. There are many causes of symblepharon, among which toxic epidermal necrolysis is the most well-known
and documented due to the extreme severity of ocular damage. Hence the purpose of this study is to describe the
epidemiological-clinical profile of the symbpharon during the toxic epidermal necrosis for adequate and appropriate
management.
Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study, lasting 24 months from 18 March 2018 to 17 March 2020 at CHUIOTA.
All patients who consented and had the symblepharon regardless of sex and age were compiled in a nonprobability
sample.
