PYOCELE OF LACRIMAL SAC – UNUSUAL PRESENTATION
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 7
Abstract
To report an unusual case of right lacrimal pyocele. Lacrimal sac pyocele or a mucocele presents with symptoms like epiphora, associated recurrent conjunctivitis and swelling at the inner canthus with mild erythema of the overlying skin. On regurgitation a frank purulent discharge flows from the lower punctum. If openings of canaliculi are blocked at this stage the so called encysted pyocele results.3 our case differs from the usual in that in spite of a presence of a pyocele there is no external or internal swelling and no associated symptoms other than excessive watering of eye.
