Punctal and peri-punctal involvement in Urbach-Wiethe syndrome: case report and review of literature

Urbach-Weithe syndrome is an exceedingly rare multisystem disorder characterized by pathognomonic clinical findings of multiple beaded papules along the eyelid margins and peri-ocular areas and hoarseness of voice secondary to intercellular deposition of periodic acid Schiff (PAS)-positive hyaline material. Lacrimal drainage anomalies are not well defined in this syndrome; however, punctal involvement and acquired nasolacrimal duct obstructions have been reported. We present a patient of Urbach-Weithe syndrome with bilateral punctal and peri-punctal involvement.
