Template:Infobox medical condition (new) Dacryoadenitis is inflammation of the lacrimal glands.[1]
Symptoms and signs
- Swelling of the outer portion of the upper lid, with possible redness and tendernessScript error: No such module "Unsubst".
- Pain in the area of swellingScript error: No such module "Unsubst".
- Excess tearing or dischargeScript error: No such module "Unsubst".
- Swelling of lymph nodes in front of the earScript error: No such module "Unsubst".
Complications
Swelling may be severe enough to put pressure on the eye and distort vision. Some patients first thought to have dacryoadenitis may turn out to have a malignancy of the lacrimal gland.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Causes
Acute dacryoadenitis is most commonly due to viral or bacterial infection. Common causes include mumps, Epstein-Barr virus, staphylococcus, and gonococcus.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Chronic dacryoadenitis is usually due to noninfectious inflammatory disorders. Examples include sarcoidosis, thyroid eye disease, and orbital pseudotumor.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Diagnosis
Dacryoadenitis can be diagnosed by examination of the eyes and lids. Special tests such as a CT scan may be required to search for the cause. Sometimes biopsy will be needed to be sure that a tumor of the lacrimal gland is not present.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Prevention
Mumps can be prevented by immunization. Gonococcus, bacteria can be avoided by the use of condoms. Most other causes cannot be prevented.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Treatment
If the cause of dacryoadenitis is a viral condition such as mumps, simple rest and warm compresses may be all that is needed. For other causes, the treatment is specific to the causative disease.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Prognosis
Most patients will fully recover from dacryoadenitis. For conditions with more serious causes, such as sarcoidosis, the prognosis is that of the underlying condition.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
