A 68-year-old woman presented with a painless inflammation of the right superior eyelid that had started several weeks before. The clinical diagnosis concluded in canaliculitis and the solid concretions were surgically extracted from the superior canalicula. The anaerobic bacteria Fusobacterium nucleatum sp. nucleatum was isolated. Signs dramatically regressed two weeks after surgery followed by one course of oral amoxicillin and clavulanic acid associated with topical tobramycin. The clinical signs had disappeared two months later.
