Pseudopterygium
Pseudopterygium is the conjunctival adhesion to cornea caused by limbal or corneal inflammation or trauma. The pseudopterygium can be easily distinguished from pterygium by bowmans probe test. Because of the lack of adherence of pseudopterygium at every point, the probe can be passed beneath it at some point.

Causes
Chemical burn
Marginal corneal ulcer
Cicatrizing conjunctivitis
Trauma
Surgery

Differential diagnosis
Treatment
Pseudopterygium can be removed by surgical excision.
