Pterygium Syndrome, Multiple is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the presence of multiple pterygia, which are benign growths of tissue on the surface of the skin. These growths can occur anywhere on the body, but are most commonly found on the face, neck, and hands. They can range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters in diameter. Symptoms of the disorder may include skin discoloration, itching, and pain. Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the pterygia.

The symptoms of Pterygium Syndrome, Multiple (PSM) vary from person to person, but may include:

• Abnormal facial features, such as a broad forehead, wide-set eyes, and a flat nose
• Cleft lip and/or palate
• Abnormalities of the hands and feet, such as webbed fingers and toes
• Abnormalities of the eyes, such as droopy eyelids, strabismus (crossed eyes), and cataracts
• Abnormalities of the ears, such as small or absent earlobes
• Abnormalities of the heart, such as a hole in the heart or an abnormal heart rhythm
• Abnormalities of the kidneys, such as cysts or malformations

1. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.
2. Chronic eye irritation from wind, dust, and other environmental factors.
3. Genetic predisposition.
4. Vitamin A deficiency.
5. Chronic inflammation of the conjunctiva.
6. Chronic dry eye.
7. Certain medications, such as corticosteroids.
8. Autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis.

1. Surgery: Surgery is the most common treatment for pterygium syndrome, multiple. The goal of surgery is to remove the pterygia and restore normal vision. Surgery is usually done under local anesthesia and involves removing the pterygia and any associated scar tissue. The surgeon may also use a laser to reshape the cornea and reduce the risk of recurrence.

2. Artificial Tears: Artificial tears can help to reduce the symptoms of pterygium syndrome, multiple. Artificial tears can help to lubricate the eyes and reduce the irritation caused by the pterygia.

3. Corticosteroid Eye Drops: Corticosteroid eye drops can help to reduce inflammation and reduce the size of the pterygia.

4. Sun Protection: Wearing sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat

1. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun
2. Working outdoors
3. Living in a sunny, dry climate
4. Having fair skin
5. Having a family history of pterygium syndrome
6. Having a history of eye irritation or injury
7. Having a history of chronic eye inflammation
8. Having a history of contact lens use
9. Having a history of chronic eye infections
10. Having a history of chronic allergies

There is no known cure for Pterygium Syndrome, Multiple. Treatment typically involves medications to reduce inflammation and pain, as well as surgery to remove the affected tissue. In some cases, medications such as corticosteroids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and immunosuppressants may be prescribed to reduce inflammation and pain. Surgery may be recommended to remove the affected tissue and reduce the risk of further complications.
