摘要：

Infections of the lacrimal gland are uncommon, with suppuration and abscess formation being exceedingly rare. Acute bacterial. dacryoadenitis may develop secondary to an adjacent infection, from blood-borne spread or after trauma. We report a paediatric case of lacrimal. gland abscess thought to be caused by spread of infection from the paranasal sinuses. The possible mechanisms of spread of infection to the lacrimal gland are discussed as well as the management of this unusual complication of sinusitis. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
