Pavésio, Carlos E.; Whitcher, Jack; Ostler, Howard B.

doi:10.5935/0004-2749.19930013

SUMMARY

The authors report a case of a conjunctival granuloma occurring as a complication of a paranasal sinus procedure. Bilateral fractures of the ethimoid bones allowed the subconjunctival infiltration of the jelly petrolatum commonly used at the end of these procedures.

Key-words:
Conjunctival granuloma: Jelly petrolatum

RESUMO

Os autores relatam um caso de granuloma da conjuntiva que ocorreu em conseqüência de uma complicação de uma cirurgia dos seios para-nasais. Fraturas bilaterais dos ossos etmoidais possibilitaram a infiltração sub conjuntival da vaselina comumente utilizada ao final dessas cirurgias.
