Abstract:
Eyelid eczemas are clinically and therapeutically clearly delineated, but remain a pathogenetically heterogeneous entity. The anatomic and functional conditions in the periorbital region make treatment difficult. Thus, in addition to frequent resistance to therapy and a tendency to recur, they pose a considerable diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to dermatologists and ophthalmologists. Even a comparatively small area of eyelid eczema can cause substantial suffering because of the burdensome symptoms and high aesthetic significance of this body region. This interdisciplinary overview deals in particular with current pathogenetic and therapeutic aspects of eyelid eczemas.
