Zusammenfassung

Die heute übliche Behandlungsweise eines Molluscum Contagiosums am kindlichen Augenlid besteht, wegen möglicher okulärer Komplikationen, in der frühzeitigen chirurgischen Entfernung. Allerdings nimmt man dabei die Risiken einer Vollnarkose in Kauf, ohne gesicherte epidemiologische Daten über einerseits die Häufigkeit okulärer Komplikationen und andererseits die Häufigkeit von Spontanremissionen. Dieser Fall zeigt die rasche und komplikationslose Remission eines Molluscum Contagiosum bei einem 5-jährigen Kind und befürwortet nach kritischem Studium der Literatur eine abwartende Haltung ohne chirurgische Intervention bei diesen jungen Patienten.

Summary

Because of possible ocular complications, POMC on children’s eyelid, is usually treated with early surgical removal. General anaesthisia, which is need in the case of pediatric patients, is however associated with the well known risks of this procedure and furthermore there are no valid epidemiological data regarding the frequency of ocular complications and/or spontaneous remission. We report a spontaneous and rapid remission, without any ocular complications, of a POMC in a five year old child. This case and critical interpretation of the literature regarding this topic, support the observation of such patient without surgical intervention.
