PURPOSE: To report a patient with a history of eye involving Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) who developed chronic bilateral purulent discharge attributed to conjunctival diverticuli. CASE REPORT: A 75-year-old woman with SJS presented with bilateral chronic relapsing purulent conjunctivitis secondary to inferior conjunctival diverticuli. The symptoms resolved after marsupialization of the diverticuli. CONCLUSIONS: The conjunctival scarring associated with SJS can lead to sequestration of conjunctival epithelium that may in turn lead to the formation of a diverticulum. The presence of a diverticulum should be considered in patients with a history of SJS who develop chronic relapsing purulent conjunctivitis.
