Abstract
A 29-year-old woman was referred for a 3-month history of recurrent fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans revealed diffuse intestinal wall thickening involving the transverse colon. When her abdominal pain recurred 1 month later, she noticed bilateral upper eyelid edema with an “S-shaped” contour. Lacrimal gland CT scans revealed enlarged lacrimal glands. Crohn disease sometimes presents with extraintestinal symptoms including ocular complications. Dacryoadenitis is rarely associated with ocular complications. Enteroscopy revealed a noncaseating granuloma in the small intestine, and Crohn disease was diagnosed. We report the characteristics of dacryoadenitis resulting from Crohn disease and review published case reports.
