蚕蚀性溃疡是一种相对罕见但众所周知的病因不明的疾病，形象地描述为角膜边缘变性，破坏边缘，并无情地向中心、周围或进入巩膜进展。它通常发生在老年人身上。在其漫长而痛苦的过程中，角膜基质被破坏，但眼睛很少穿孔。在尼日利亚卡诺的苏丹内政眼科医院的 3j/£ 年期间（1963 年 1 月至 1966 年 6 月），发现了 37 例蚕蚀性溃疡，临床人群中的发病率约为 1:2,200。本文描述了该疾病的经典形式的某些变异，并讨论了各种形式的治疗。
Mooren's ulcer is a relatively rare but well-known disease of unknown etiology, graphically described as a marginal degen eration of the cornea, undermining the edge, and progressing relentlessly toward the cen ter, around the periphery, or into the sclera. It usually occurs in older individuals. Dur ing its prolonged, painful course, the corneal stroma is destroyed, but the eye rarely perforates.During a 3j/£-year period (January, 1963 to June, 1966) at the Sudan Interior Mission Eye Hospital in Kano, Nigeria, 37 cases of Mooren's ulcer were seen, representing an incidence of approximately 1: 2,200 in the clinic population. This paper describes cer tain variations from the classical form of the disease, and discusses various forms of ther apy.
