The clinical spectrum of bulbar conjunctival rhinosporidiosis

Even though tarsal conjunctival involvement is reported as the most common form of conjunctival rhinosporidiosis in the literature, in our series, bulbar conjunctival disease comprised nearly half of all conjunctival cases, and over 20% of all adnexal cases. Most appear to do well with complete surgical excision of the granuloma. Rarely, long-standing cases may develop scleral thinning with or without staphyloma formation which may need major tectonic support to protect the integrity of the eyeball. Most of these also appear to do well on medium to long-term follow-up.
