title: Lacrimal Drainage System Involvement in Linear Scleroderma.
abstract: Linear scleroderma is a localized variety of scleroderma characterized by fibrotic areas of the dermis involving head region without systemic features. Ocular involvement has been sparsely reported in the form of episcleritis, dry eye, and uveitis. We describe a 42-year-old man with linear scleroderma, en coup de sabre type with associated nasolacrimal duct obstruction and prolonged dacryocystitis.
