AB A  hordeolum  is  a  suppurative  infection  of  one  of  the  eyelid  glands.1-15  The  nomenclature  that  describes  infectious  and  inflammatory  conditions  of  the  eyelid  glands  is  at  times  confusing.  A  brief  description  of  the  eyelid  margin  anatomy  may  help  resolve  some  of  the  confusion.  The  patient  usually  presents  with  an  acutely  painful,  erythematous,  localized,  and  tender  mass  on  either  the  upper  or  lower  eyelid.  A  hordeolum  may  be  associated  with  a  blepharitis.
