Abstract

We report the case of an 11 year old girl presenting with acute pan-sinusitis and a rare sequelae, that of lacrimal adenitis. If lacrimal cellulitis is left untreated, abscess formation can occur. Previous case reports have discussed abscess formation and the requirement for surgical drainage. If lacrimal cellulitis is diagnosed early in the disease process by understanding typical signs conservative management can accomplish resolution without the need for surgical exploration and the cosmetic implications of facial surgery.
