Recurrent Chalazia Revealing an Ocular Rosacea in a Child

Abstract

Examination of the face showed papules and pustules on both cheeks and central forehead, see figure 1 (A). Best corrected visual acuity was 6/7.5 OD and 6/9 OS, respectively. The patient was having inflamed chalazion in her right upper eyelid, with diffuse conjunctival and ciliary congestion in her left eye, see figure 1 (B and C). Slit lamp examination revealed severe blepharitis, meibomitis with flakes around lashes in all four lids, see figure 2. There was superficial punctuate keratitis in both eyes with pannus in the left eye and corneal infiltrates, see figure 3. Education-Family Physician Corner
