Introduction:

Parinaud's Oculoglandular Syndrome is a rare granulomatous conjunctivitis, accompanied by regional lymphadenopathy. It is caused by varied etiologies, one of which is sporotrichosis, which is a rare cause and little reported in the literature.

Objective:

To report a case of Parinaud's Oculoglandular Syndrome caused by atypical sporotrichosis, associated with dacryocystitis, attended by an emergency eye service.

Methods:

The study was carried out from the analysis of the medical record, along with the anamnesis, ophthalmological examination and complementary examinations of the patient. Bibliographic research was carried out with publications of up to twenty years for theoretical and methodological foundations.

Results:

It was possible to identify some of the most common changes in Parinaud's Oculoglandular Syndrome due to sporotrichosis. Such changes consist of hyperemic nodules in the tarsal or bulbar conjunctiva, related with adenopathy, hardened or fibroelastic, in submandibular and / or preauricular regions.

Conclusion:

Sporotrichosis is a disease with an effective treatment if readily identified and should always be considered as a possible cause of Parinaud's Oculoglandular Syndrome. This case can be a reference for professionals in the field, both in diagnosis and in the management of patients with such syndromic diagnosis, since it is a rare and rarely seen case.
