Abstract
The aim of the study was to document the clinical course of the scleral necrosis after pterygium excision with topical Mitomycin-C eye drop.

B-scan ultrasonography showed Endophthalmitis. The eye was enucleated and Histopathological examination and sclera thickness measurement were done. As there was no vision the eye ball was enucleated. Histopathological examination showed infiltration with chronic inflammatory cells. Scleral measurement was found to be normal. Similar to this case many cases of sclera necrosis have been reported in the literature. Conclussion-Knowing the serious complication MMC should not be used in all cases.
