          Abstract

          La dacryoadénite tuberculeuse est une inflammation rare de la glande lacrymale causé par le bacille Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Elle pose un problème étiopathogénique et diagnostique. Nous rapportons dans cette observation le cas d'une dacryoadénite tuberculeuse bilatérale chez un jeune homme Marocain de 34 ans ayant présenté une tuberculose ganglionnaire et du cavum il y à 14 ans, ayant été confirmé par l'examen anatomopathologique. La tuberculose reste un diagnostic qui doit être toujours évoqué même dans les atteinte bilatérale surtout si il y a un antécédent personnel ou familiale positif de tuberculose. Le pronostic de cette affection est devenu favorable grâce au traitement antibacillaire précoce.

          Orbital tuberculosis: a review of the literature.

          Usha Kim, Simon Madge, Debraj Shome … (2007)
          To provide an up-to-date review of the clinical presentations, investigations, and management of orbital tuberculosis (OTB). Systematic review of the literature concerning OTB, limiting the results to English-language peer-reviewed journals. Seventy-nine patients from 39 publications were identified as cases of OTB. The condition presents in one of five forms: classical periostitis; orbital soft tissue tuberculoma or cold abscess, with no bony involvement; OTB with bony involvement; spread from the paranasal sinuses; and tuberculous dacryoadenitis. The ocular adnexa, including the nasolacrimal system and overlying skin, may also be involved. Diagnosis can be difficult and may necessitate an orbital biopsy, in which acid-fast bacilli (AFB) and characteristic histopathology may be seen. Growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (mTB) from such a specimen remains the gold standard for diagnosis. Ancillary investigations include tuberculin skin tests and chest radiography, but more recently alternatives such as whole blood interferon-gamma immunological tests and PCR-based tests of pathological specimens have proven useful. The management of OTB is complex, requiring a stringent public health strategy and high levels of patient adherence, combined with long courses of multiple anti-tuberculous medications. The interaction of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) with TB may further complicate management.

            Pictorial essay: Orbital tuberculosis

            Mahender Narula, Vikas Chaudhary, Dhiraj Baruah … (2010)
            Tuberculosis of the orbit is rare, even in places where tuberculosis is endemic. The disease may involve soft tissue, the lacrimal gland, or the periosteum or bones of the orbital wall. Intracranial extension, in the form of extradural abscess, and infratemporal fossa extension has been described. This pictorial essay illustrates the imaging findings of nine histopathologically confirmed cases of orbital tuberculosis. All these patients responded to antituberculous treatment.

              Tuberculous dacryoadenitis: a rare manifestation of tuberculosis.

              J Lutterman, S Linden (2002)
              A 41-year-old Somalian female inhabitant of The Netherlands presented with malaise and cervical lymph node swelling. Enlarged mediastinal, hilar and abdominal lymph nodes were found on CT scan. Subsequently the left lacrimal gland became swollen, accompanied by periostitis of the lateral orbit margin. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was cultured from lymph node tissue and the diagnosis of tuberculous dacryoadenitis with periostitis was made on CT images and histology. All lesions responded well to tuberculostatic treatment. Although tuberculous dacryoadenitis is a very rare manifestation of tuberculosis, it is still important to recognise this presentation, especially since the incidence of tuberculosis continues to increase in Western countries.
