RESUMO: Uma fêmea de coelho-anão apresentando uma membrana vascularizada exuberante cobrindo cerca de 90% da superfície corneana do olho direito foi atendida em um hospital veterinário universitário. Com diagnóstico de pseudopterígio, a coelha foi submetida a intervenção cirúrgica corretiva, com técnica baseada em incisão da conjuntiva aberrante em três secções radiais. O tecido restante foi suturado à conjuntiva bulbar com fio absorvível poliglactina 910 de calibre 6-0, empregando-se ciclosporina tópica para prevenção de recidivas. Ao exame histopatológico o tecido apresentava estroma conjuntivo normal revestido por epitélio conjuntival, sem células caliciformes. O animal se recuperou sem intercorrências e nenhum sinal de recidiva foi observado trinta dias após o procedimento.Palavras-chave: lagomorfo; oftalmologia; membrana aberrante; pseudopterígio ABSTRACT: A female dwarf-rabbit presenting an exuberant vascularized membrane covering about 90% of the corneal surface of the right eye was examined and treated at a veterinary teaching hospital. Diagnosed with pseudopterygium, the animal was submitted to corrective surgery based on incision of the membrane in three radial sections. The remaining tissue was sutured to the bulbar conjunctiva with 6-0 polyglactin 910. Topical cyclosporine treatment was prescribed to avoid recurrences. Histopathological analysis showed normal stroma and conjunctival epithelium with no goblet cells. The rabbit recovered with no complications and no signs of recurrences were noticed until thirty days after surgery.
