Abstract
Myospherulosis is a chronic inflammatory reaction to the mixture of red blood cells and petroleum based ointments. A literature review does not reveal any cases involving ophthalmic manifestations. We present the first reported case of a patient experiencing recurrent eyelid inflammation from myospherulosis after endoscopic sinus surgery. The pathophysiology and management of myospherulosis are discussed.Entities:
