Endoscopy of the lacrimal drainage system
Der Ophthalmologe, 1997The available picturing methods in the diagnosis of functional and mechanical stenosis of the lacrimal drainage system do not allow direct optical evaluation of the mucosa. With the help of dacryoendoscopy, for the first time there is the possibility of receiving a direct morphological picture of the tissue of the lacrimal drainage system.In a clinical

STENOSIS OF THE LACRIMAL DUCTS [PDF]
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1929 Two years ago at a meeting of this society I outlined my technic in the treatment for dacrocystitis. While the number of patients treated is not large, the results have been so satisfactory that I wish to report not only the end-results but other points of interest. Stenosis of the lacrimal ducts may be either congenital or acquired.

Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1988
ABSTRACT Reports of lacrimal gland cysts have been rare, and mostly of small, unilateral cysts of the palpebral lobes. An unusual case of bilateral, large acquired cysts of the orbital lobe of the lacrimal glands is presented. Pathologic examination showed chronic inflammation and fibrosis of the lacrimal gland structures.

Prevention and Management of Lacrimal Duct Injury
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2010Due to the proximity of the lacrimal duct and sac to the uncinate process, occult injury to the lacrimal drainage system is common during uncinectomy and maxillary antrostomy. Fortunately, these injuries do not often progress to develop clinical symptoms as most either heal on their own, or drain into the middle meatus.

Endoscopic-Assisted Reconstructive Surgery of the Lacrimal Duct
Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 2009Reconstructive surgery of the nasolacrimal duct, or dacryocystorhinostomy, can be performed via an external or endonasal approach. For almost a century external dacryocystorhinostomy was the gold standard for correction of lacrimal duct obstruction. The endonasal approach became a safe surgical procedure using endoscopes and has the same anatomic and ...

Dissectional and endoscopical anatomy of the lacrimal duct
Acta Ophthalmologica Scandinavica, 2007Abstract Purpose: A better knowledge of the external and internal anatomy of the lacrimal duct isessential for any intervention. The induced prussure of the medial canthal ligament into the lacrimal sac might be considered as one of the reasons of epiphora. Methods: In this study, cadaver disection, trans‐canalicular and endonasol endoscopy are used to

Lacrimal Duct Occlusion for the Treatment of Dry Eye [PDF]
Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2005 The most widespread treatment for dry eyes in clinical practice is an instillation containing artificial tear fluid. When an instillation does not ameliorate dry eye, we use punctal plugs. The insertion of punctal plugs is an eminent curative that positively improves the corneal and conjunctival epithelial disorders and the amount of lacrimal fluid ...

Naso-lacrimal duct balloon dilatation
Clinical Radiology, 1994During a 30 month period (June 1991 to December 1993) 22 stenosed naso-lacrimal ducts in 18 patients were treated by balloon dilatation. A technical success rate of 86% was achieved, and the clinical success rate was 68%, in terms of either completely relieving or greatly improving the patients' symptoms of epiphora.

Functional anatomy of human lacrimal duct epithelium
Anatomy and Embryology, 1998Resorption of tear fluid in the lacrimal ducts has hitherto been controversial; one reason for this has been insufficient knowledge of the anatomical structure and function of the lacrimal duct epithelium. The present study analyzes the structure of lacrimal duct epithelium by means of histological, histochemical, immunohistochemical and ...
