A 49 years old male patient was referred from the Department of Medicine, KNUH for the management of painful oral lesions. The patient had disability of food and drug intake due to multiple intraoral ulcers. Extraoral findings showed upper and lower lip swelling, crust formation on the lips. The lesions were diagnosed as Ste ens-Johnson syndrome based on clinical and hematologic.5ndings. The patient was treated´ with saline irrigation and.pulsed ,Nd:YAG laser irradiation. After 5 days of daily treatment, the lesions decreased in size and severity, and the patient became more comfortable for food intake and speeching. It was suggested from the results of this clinical trial that a pulsed Nd:YAG laser therapy would be helpful for the relief of symptoms associated. with Stevers-Johnson - syndrome.
