ABSTRACT

RESUMEN La canaliculitis es una entidad rara, con frecuencia mal diagnosticada por su similitud con otras enfermedades. Se reporta una paciente femenina, de 56 años de edad, remitida a la Consulta de Oculoplastia del Instituto Cubano de Oftalmología "Ramón Pando Ferrer", por secreciones purulentas y epífora del ojo izquierdo. Al examen se observó hiperemia conjuntival, secreción purulenta, punto lagrimal inferior hiperémico, dilatado, y se constató salida de concreciones por este al comprimir el canalículo. Se confirmó el diagnóstico de canaliculitis aguda supurada con concreciones. Se indicó tratamiento quirúrgico, que consistió en la canaliculotomía con remoción de las concreciones. Un examen clínico detallado, con adecuado conocimiento de la vía lagrimal excretora, permitió el diagnóstico certero, con un tratamiento quirúrgico eficaz y una evolución satisfactoria(AU)
