Abstract

Ocular pyogenic granuloma is a benign vascular tumor that occurs primarily in children. Treatment options for pyogenic conjunctival granulomas include topical steroids, topical timolol, surgery, cryotherapy, and electrocautery. Patients with giant pyogenic granulomas are usually treated with surgical intervention. In this case, a 13-year-old Egyptian girl developed a giant pyogenic granuloma after strabismus surgery. Topical steroids showed a poor response and failed to demonstrate any improvement. While on timolol, the granuloma completely regressed, with no signs of recurrence. Despite the usual surgical approach to the treatment of purulent giant granulomas, we believe that topical timolol can be the preferred option as a noninvasive alternative therapy since it is considered safe when compared to the potential risks of topical steroid therapy or surgical exposure.
