The assessment of pain, flexibility and daily activity level in the patients who had facet tropism. International Journal of Scientific Reports. 2020 May; 6(5): 172-1772454-24562454-2164http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/214020Vernal keratoconjunctivitis(VKC)is a chronic bilateral inflammation of the conjunctiva, commonly associated with a personal or family history of atopy. It is characterized by severe itching, foreign body sensation, thick ropy discharge, photophobia and conjunctival injection. VKC has palpebral, limbal and mixed forms. The classical conjunctival sign in palpebral VKC is the presence of giant papillae, which are predominantly seen on the superior tarsal conjunctiva. The limbal form occurs in dark skinned individuals and the papillae tend to occur at the limbus and have a thick gelatinous appearance. Clinical findings and laboratory investigations support the presence of IgE mediated type1 hypersensitivity reaction. Involvement of CD4 T helper (Th2) driven type IV hypersensitivity has also been confirmed. There has been an increase in the prevalence of allergic disorders in recent years and exaggerated manifestations of these diseases have been recognized in patients living with Human immunodeficiency virusFacet jointTropismDaily activity levelPainFlexibilityLow back painJournal ArticleIndiaDepartment of Radiology,University of Health Sciences Sultan Abdulhamid Han Research and Training Hospital, Istanbul, TurkeyUskudar University Faculty of Health Science Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, Istanbul, TurkeyDepartment of Radiology,University of Health Sciences Sultan Abdulhamid Han Research and Training Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey
