What Nodular granulomatous episcleritis (NGE)?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Nodular granulomatous episcleritis is an immune-mediated (inflammatory) disease that affects the sclera, cornea and nictitating membrane. The condition is diagnosed most commonly in Collies, Cocker Spaniels, and related breeds. Usually a combination of topical and oral anti-inflammatory and \/ or immunosuppressant medications is prescribed to treat the condition. Once the episcleritis is in remission, the medications are slowly tapered over a period of several months to minimize the risk of recurrence. In severe cases surgical debulking of the nodules with cryotherapy (freezing procedure) may be necessary to induce remission.<\/p>\n

A treatment regimen using oral tetracycline and niacinamide (Vitamin B3) over a period of weeks to months has also been described but the results in causing regression of are variable.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Ligne” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}” column_structure=”1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4″ theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ophtalmoveterinaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Capture-decran-2017-04-04-a-11.17.53.png” alt=”Nodular granulomatous episcleritis, sclera, cornea, nictitating membrane, Collies, Cocker, immune-mediated, inflammatory” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Image” _builder_version=”3.23″ animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” animation_duration=”500ms” animation_intensity_slide=”10%” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”left” sticky=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout” align_phone=”center”] [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Texte” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”]Eye with NGE<\/p>\n
