Crescimento benigno recorrente da conjuntiva. Um pterígio comumente cresce no lado nasal da esclera. Geralmente está presente na fissura palpebral. É associado a e considerado como causado por exposição à luz ultravioleta (p.ex., luz solar), baixa umidade e poeira. O predomínio do pterígio no lado nasal é possivelmente decorrente da passagem dos raios solares lateralmente através da córnea, onde sofre refração e passa a se concentrar na região límbica. | |||

This refers to the recurrent benign growth of the conjunctiva. A pterygium commonly grows from the nasal side of the sclera. It is usually present in the palpebral fissure. It is associated with and thought to be caused by ultraviolet-light exposure (e.g., sunlight), low humidity, and dust. The predominance of pterygia on the nasal side is possibly a result of the sun's rays passing laterally through the cornea, where it undergoes refraction and becomes focused on the limbic area. | |||
