Abstract |
PURPOSE Congenital dacryocystocele is an uncommon variant of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction. We report a case of infected congenital dacryocystoceles with nasolacrimal duct cysts bilaterally. METHODS: A 5-day-old girl had bilateral bluish swellings over the lacrimal sacs. Although she had been treated with systemic antibiotics, antibiotic eyedrops and massage, the swelling was not reduced. A computed tomographic (CT) scan demonstrated distension of both lacrimal sacs and nasolacrimal ducts with soft tissue masses beneath the inferior turbinates bilaterally. RESULTS: After marsupialization of bilateral nasolacrimal duct cysts under nasal endoscopic visualization, the swellings over both lacrimal sacs were rapidly resolved without recurrence 3 months thereafter. |
