AB Acute  dacryoadenitis  typically  involves  children  and  young  adults  with  associated  systemic  infections  such  as  gonorrhea,  mumps,  Epstein-Barr  virus,  and  Staphylococcus  species.  Findings  are  localized  to  the  outer  one-third  of  the  upper  eyelid  and  include  fullness  or  swelling,  erythema,  and  tenderness.  A  characteristic  “S”-shaped  deformity  with  ptosis  of  the  lid  may  be  seen.  In  more  advanced  cases,  proptosis,  inferonasal  globe  displacement,  ophthalmoparesis,  and  diplopia  may  be  present.
