• Enlargement of the Liver

  The regional glands were not enlarged and the liver was not palpable. At the upper inner corner of the swelling there was a reddish conjunctival mass over it. It was 6 mm x 4 mm in dimensions, with 6 to 7 yellowish dots over it, of 1-2 mm diameter. [ijo.in]

Treatment was conducted by conjunctival resection and tectonic corneoscleral graft (13x13mm) over the staphyloma. Within 1 year of follow-up the patient presented a partial staphyloma reduction, 9x9x2.5 mm, and the patch detached from the lesion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
