Pterygium internum presents a significant epidemiological problem. Its etiopathogenesis is still unclear. After surgical removal it shows great tendency to recidives. The aim of this paper was to investigate connection between histopathological characteristics (inflammation presence, vascularization degree and fibrinoid changes) of pterygium and its clinical characteristics (duration, size, pterygium grade, presence of Fuchs' spots and recidives) and determine indicators for recidives prediction.
