In this episode of EENT101, host Dr. Christina G. Gonzales reviews Dacryoadenitis, an inflammation of the lacrimal gland that presents with pain, swelling, and erythema of the upper outer eyelid. Learn to recognize the key difference between acute (often bacterial or viral) vs chronic (typically inflammatory or systemic) cases. We’ll talk about common pathogens like Staph aureus and EBV, how to differentiate it from other periorbital conditions, and the management strategies including warm compresses, antibiotics, and when to refer.
