Clinical symptoms of toxic epidermal necrosis (TEN) include massive epidermolysis within skin and mucous membranes. Similar to extensive stage II burns, this may be a life-threatening condition. Patients with TEN are usually treated in specialized burn centers andlor surgery departments. Here we present and discuss 2 case reports of patients with ocular complications of TEN. The aim of this study is to emphasize the necessity of ophthalmic control and treatment during the early and late phase of TEN.
