Abstract
To report the case of a patient with upper eyelid chronic cicatrizing conjunctivitis and entropion, presumably secondary to ocular rosacea. Case report and review of medical literature. The patient has a history of chronic cicatrizing conjunctivitis since 1999. Despite an extensive workup for other possible causes, the patient's known history of acne rosacea is the most substantive explanation for her ocular disease. The presence of chronic cicatrizing conjunctivitis affecting mainly the upper eyelids, previously thought to be unique to trachoma, can be associated with ocular rosacea.Keywords
