The external dacryocystorhinostomy (Ex-DCR) is a reliable but surgically challenging procedure to overcome a nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO). The aim of this study is to describe the outcomes of a modified technique of lacrimal sac opening and to compare it with the conventional Ex-DCR.This comparative cohort study included adult patients ...

Evaluation of dacryocystorhinostomy failure with computed tomographic dacryocystography [PDF]
Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the causes of failure of dacryocystorhinostomy by computed dacryocystography (CT-DCG).Methods: CT-DCG was done in 38 patients of failed DCR of either sex in the age group of 16-60 years, the ...

Epiphora : impact on vision, outcome of lacrimal surgery and investigations with ultra-high-frequency ultrasound [PDF]
Epiphora is a common condition that often receives little attention. Excessive tear production creates an irregular and ever-changing ocular surface, affecting refraction and reducing vision.

Endonasal endoscopic nasolacrimal duct dissection for primary nasolacrimal duct obstruction
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to describe the results of endonasal endoscopic nasolacrimal duct dissection (EE-NLDD); a surgical technique used for the treatment of primary nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO).

Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy: Creation of a Large Marsupialized Lacrimal Sac [PDF]
This retrospective study describes and evaluates the effectiveness of a modified technique of conventional endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) that minimizes the obstruction of a neo-ostium by creating an enlarged marsupialized lacrimal sac using ...

Necrotizing Fasciitis Following Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus in an Immunocompromised Patient
Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare infection that spreads rapidly along the subcutaneous soft tissue planes. NF rarely involves the periorbital region due to the excellent blood supply of this region. We report a case of periorbital necrotising fasciitis following herpes zoster (HZ) in an immunocompromised 70‐year‐old patient with a dramatically ...

Purpose. To compare the eyelid pressure between patients with functional nasolacrimal duct obstruction (FNLDO) and normal controls using blepharo‐tensiometer, and to evaluate the relationship between eyelid pressure and the outcomes of silicone intubation (SI) in patients with FNLDO. Study design. Prospective case‐control study. Methods. We enrolled 36

In Vivo and Cadaver Studies of the Canalicular/Lacrimal Sac Mucosal Folds
Purpose. The study aimed to investigate canalicular/lacrimal sac mucosal folds (CLS‐MFs) in vivo and in cadavers in order to explore their functional roles in the lacrimal drainage system. Method. The observations of CLS‐MFs in vivo were performed on 16 patients with chronic dacryocystitis after undergoing an endonasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (

Comparative study of endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy with and without adjunctive topical use of Mitomycin C [PDF]
Background: Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy has now established itself in the treatment of lacrimal obstruction. Failures in endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy are mainly due to reclosure of the stoma in the lateral nasal wall.
