A chalazion is a chronic sterile lipogranuloma. They are typically slowly enlarging and non-tender. A deep chalazion is caused by inflammation of a tarsal meibomian gland, while a superficial chalazion is caused by inflammation of a Zeis gland. A 4-year-old child was brought for homoeopathic treatment of a meibomian cyst of the left upper eyelid with the hope to avoid surgical intervention. After full case taking, case analysis and proper individualisation, a single homoeopathic medicine was prescribed. After 2 months of treatment, the child was relieved of her presenting symptoms and showed general improvement in health. This article provides a clinically useful review of a case with evidence about how an individualised homoeopathic medicine treated a likely surgical case successfully. |
