Acute dacryoadenitis and Crohn's disease: findings and management.
Concurrent orbital pseudotumor and Crohn's disease, although rare, have been described. To the best of our knowledge, pseudotumor isolated to the lacrimal gland (dacryoadenitis) with concurrent Crohn's disease has never been reported. We present the clinical course and ultrasonographic and radiologic findings of an acute case of isolated bilateral lacrimal gland pseudotumor in a patient with Crohn's disease. The treatment and review of the literature are discussed.
