  • Title: Localized orbital inflammation: a case of dacryoadenitis.
    Author: Colegrove JA.
    Journal: Optom Vis Sci; 2000 Mar; 77(3):121-4. PubMed ID: 10772228.
    Abstract:
    Nonspecific orbital inflammatory syndrome includes a variety of ocular inflammatory disorders. These may be classified by location (anterior or posterior) and by time of presentation (acute or chronic). The four subclassifications of nonspecific orbital inflammatory syndrome are myositis, perineuritis, periscleritis, and dacryoadenitis. When a proper diagnosis is established using clinical signs, imaging studies, and laboratory results, treatment of the condition can be initiated. Treatment of the acute form is with oral corticosteroids. This case discusses the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with an acute onset of inflammatory dacryoadenitis.
