This is part of a list of ocular disorders "keratoconjonctivite seche, ulcere de Mooren, keratite stromale herpetique, ...conjonctivite muco-synéchiante" that can be treated with ciclosporin A. I found one reference indicating that it is an old name for ocular cicatricial pemphigoid
http://journals.lww.com/internat-ophthalmology/Citation/1998...
but I was hoping someone could confirm that for me, one reference is not very many.

Mucous membrane pemphigoid has been known by many different names within the medical literature including benign mucous membrane pemphigoid, cicatricial (scarring) pemphigoid, and ocular cicatricial pemphigoid. In March of 2002, a consensus group of researchers determined that mucous membrane pemphigoid was the best designation for this group of disorders. The term "benign" mucous membrane pemphigoid was deemed inappropriate because of the potential for serious complications in some cases. The term "cicatricial" pemphigoid excluded affected individuals who do not develop scarring. Site-specific terms such as "ocular" cicatricial pemphigoid excluded individuals with multiple site involvement.
