Serratia marcescens Canaliculitis: A Case Report of Uncommon Etiology

Article

Author: Suller-Pansacola, Armida L ; Castro, Josemaria M

A 66-year-old female patient presented with chronic medial eyelid swelling and discharge of the right eye. She was initially treated with tobramycin eye drops and oral amoxicillin-clavulanic acid. However, the persistence of signs and symptoms accompanied by grainy punctal discharge on follow-up prompted a diagnosis of lacrimal canaliculitis. She underwent punctum-sparing right superior and inferior canaliculotomy under local anesthesia and completed topical antibiotic treatment with moxifloxacin. Serial follow-up examinations showed complete resolution of swelling, discharge, and epiphora. Microscopic examination of the lacrimal concretions showed the presence of Serratia marcescens, an unusual cause of canaliculitis. As a microorganism of nosocomial and opportunistic origin, it is commonly found in medical equipment, urine-collecting basins, and even tap water. Although extremely rare, Serratia marcescens should be considered in chronic lacrimal canaliculitis presenting with concretions.

Pediatric dacryolith masquerading as congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction

Article

Author: Ranjan, Ashish ; Ali, Mohammad Javed ; Pokal, Upasana

PurposeTo report a rare case of a pediatric dacryolith masquerading as congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO).ObservationsA two-year-old male child presented with history of intermittent epiphora and discharge since the age of six months. Clinical evaluation demonstrated raised tear meniscus height and delayed fluorescein dye disappearance test in the right eye. Lacrimal irrigation of the right eye under general anesthesia demonstrated 90 % regurgitation (subjectively) of mucoid fluid with a hard stop. Nasal endoscopy examination demonstrated a dacryolith obstructing the opening of the nasolacrimal duct (NLD) in the inferior meatus. The dacryolith was teased out of the NLD and following its removal the lacrimal irrigation was freely patent. At six-months post operative follow up, epiphora resolved and the child was asymptomatic.Conclusions and importanceWhile cases of canaliculitis is uncommon in pediatric age group, it is rare to find a NLD dacryolith in a toddler. To the best of the authors' knowledge, there are few prior reports on pediatric NLD dacryolith masquerading as CNLDO in a toddler (1-3 years).
