Abstract
- In the present case we deal with a medial eyelid necrosis and injury of the canalicular system in a patient in treatment for lepromatous leprosy. Histology of the necrotic lesion showed granulomatous inflammatory reaction with accumulation of histiocytes and presence of alcohol-acid resistant bacilli. After medical treatment, the patient had a spontaneous recovery of the medial canthus architecture but with complete destruction of the canalicular system.
