PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

• A chalazion forms when the meibomian gland becomes

blocked and sebaceous secretions accumulate.
Reaction to the material results in granulation tissue
and chronic inflammation
• The large meibomian glands are embedded in the
tarsal plate of the eyelid; therefore, edema usually is
contained on the conjunctival portion of the lid
• Occasionally, the chalazion enlarges and breaks
through the tarsal plate to the external portion of the
lid. Blockage of the zeis may cause chalazia to occur
along the lid margin.
 Clinical manifestation
• A small lump on the eyelid
• Swelling of the eyelid
• Soreness or discomfort
• Redness of the skin
• Watery eye
• Mild irritation in the eye
• Blurry vision
 Diagnose
• There are no special test nedded.
• Anamnesis : limp, no pain, no redness,
pseudoptosis
