It is also known as German Sheperd Pannus, Uberreiter?s Syndrome, degenerative pannus, chronic immune-mediated keratoconjunctivitis syndrome. Despite intensive research efforts, no permanent cure exists. This disease can often be stabilized or controlled with the appropriate therapy. The goal was to controll this disorders by appropiate topical combined anti-infective corticosteroid ophthalmic suspension with subconjunctival retard depot trimcinolome acetonide injection.
