Abstract:
:Canaliculitis is a rare infection of the lacrimal canaliculus with Actinomyces israelii as its most common etiologic agent. The objective of this paper is to report a rare pathology, as well as its clinical and surgical management. Female patient, 44 years old, presenting clinical manifestations compatible with canaliculitis, was submitted to surgical treatment preserving the lacrimal punctum. Intubation was performed into the lacrimal channel with silicone tube for three months, associated with periodical pre-programmed bathings with antibiotic, in order to avoid complications and recurrence. This case confirms the literature reports in which the surgical treatment is more effective than the conservative treatment.
