Determining whether a patient's presentation is acute or chronic can aid in determining etiology and choosing therapy. The presentation of dacryoadenitis may be quite variable. Acute cases usually present with more severe symptoms. [reviewofophthalmology.com]

Dacryoadenitis often lacks the inflammatory signs and may present with enlargement only, then it has to be distinguished from the neoplasm of the gland. Symptoms at presentation depend upon whether the disease process is acute or chronic. [aimu.us]

Clinical Evaluation When a diagnosis of acute dacryoadenitis is suspected, a focused workup of the condition should be initiated. A thorough history and physical is the essential first step. [reviewofophthalmology.com]

Clinical course and prognosis: Acute inflammation of the lacrimal gland is characterized by a rapid clinical course and spontaneous healing within eight to ten days. The prognosis is good, and complications are not usually to be expected. [emedtravel.wordpress.com]

Prognosis [ edit ] Most patients will fully recover from dacryoadenitis. For conditions with more serious causes, such as sarcoidosis, the prognosis is that of the underlying condition. [en.wikipedia.org]

In most cases, the prognosis is good. Cysts develop again in some people. But these usually can be removed without complications. Benign tumors. The prognosis is usually very good. [drugs.com]
