Purpose: A 90-year-old woman was referred to us with a 1-month history of progressively worsening blepharoconjunctivitis. She had a complete acquired ankyloblepharon of the right lids, which resulted in the appearance of a right upper lid abscess on computed tomography.
Methods: Blepharotomy with separation and debridement of the lid margins was performed.
Results: Cultures were positive only for herpes simplex virus, type II.
Conclusions: Herpes simplex blepharoconjunctivitis may take many clinical forms. Our patient's severe manifestations led to the clinical and radiologic appearance of preseptal cellulitis with a right upper lid abscess.
