It produces alterations of eyelids borders, Meibomio glands, and cornea, conjunctive and lachrymal film, giving place to complications. It has special importance due to their high incidence. <strong><br /> Objective</strong>: evidencing clinical manifestations and ophthalmologic complications in patient with mixed Blepharitis. <strong><br /> Case Presentation</strong>: a male patient of 82 years, black race with antecedents of health consults because an increase of volume of the lower left lid of eye for 2 years accompanied by secretion and shed tears, without previously treatment. The ophthalmologic exam evidences reversed lower lid, lashes that contact with the conjunctive. We observed a palpable border with a blush eyelid and scabs, telangiectasias, dilation of the holes of Meibomio glands, tumor injuries in number of 3 with a size between 2 and 4 mm, hard and painless lower plate, moderate conjunctival injection, and scarce foamy secretion. The Schirmer’s test I 9 mm and plate break down up to 5 seconds. It was diagnosed complicated mixed Blepharitis with multiple chalazion, entropion and dry keratoconjunctivitis. Previous informed consent treatment was indicated withtetracycline, prednisolone, artificial tears and surgical treatment of multiple chalazion, being achieved the disappearance of the entropion. It was carried out the differential diagnosis with carcinoma of sebaceous glands, cicatricial pemphigus and Stevens-Johnson´s syndrome. <strong><br /> Conclusions</strong>: the Blepharitis is an important cause of ocular morbidity due to the changes produced on the anatomy of the lids and lachrymal film with the consequent damage to the ocular surface.</span></p><p style="margin-right: -.05pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><strong>Key words:</strong> blepharitis, chalazion, entropion, dry eyes, ocular surface, meibomian gland dysfunction.</span></p> |
