Infectious mononucleosis is caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and usually presents with a triad of fever, pharyngitis, and lymphadenopathy.[4] A transient edema of the bilateral upper eyelids, known as Hoagland sign, is an occasional early sign of the infection. This finding is more commonly reported in pediatric patients compared with adults.[5] The pathophysiology remains unclear; palpebral edema may be related to the lymphatic obstruction or lymphocyte infiltration of the lachrymal glands by lymphoproliferation.[5].
