CONGENITAL NASOLACRIMAL DUCT OBSTRUCTION

Ophthalmology Clinics of North America, 2001
Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction is a common problem among infants. Its incidence and natural course are reviewed. Probing techniques and various back-up procedures for failed probings are discussed. Additional suggestions are made about the management of lacrimal duct obstruction with congenital cacryocystocele and nasal dacryocele.

CONGENITAL IMPATENCY OF THE NASOLACRIMAL DUCT

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1948
FROM a perusal of the literature, it would seem that congenital impatency of the nasolacrimal duct is a much rarer anomaly than our experience has led us to believe. In order to arrive at figures regarding the incidence of this condition and to learn the best method of treating it, the present study was undertaken.

Balloon Dilation of the Nasolacrimal Duct

Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 2005
Our purpose is to report our experience with balloon catheter dilation of the nasolacrimal duct after failed probing for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction.We undertook a retrospective chart review. Patients who were enrolled had symptoms of persistent nasolacrimal duct obstruction after simple probing and irrigation.

Nasolacrimal Duct Probing in Infants

Ophthalmology, 1979
Use of a fiberoptic endoscope to visualize the vault of the inferior turbinate during lacrimal duct probing and irrigation revealed a high incidence of false passages. This was confirmed on dacryocystofluoroscopy. The creation of false passages as documented by us can help explain clinical probing failure in apparently successful probings in which ...

Acquired Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2006
Acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction is a common problem. Although tearing is the usual complaint, the clinical presentation can range from a patient having no symptoms to one with a life-threatening infection. Despite many studies providing useful clues, the exact pathophysiology of the obstructive process is incompletely understood.

THC:YAG Nasolacrimal Duct Recanalization

Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1993
ABSTRACT In an early exploration of a new technique for creating a patent nasolacrimal duct system, a chromium-sensitized and thulium- and holmium-doped YAG laser was used to canalize the nasolacrimal duct of a fresh-frozen bisected human cadaver head. The laser-long-pulsed (300 milliseconds), compact, self-contained, and solid-state-operates

Malignant melanomas of the nasolacrimal duct

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 2006
Two patients with a history of epistaxis who were both found to have a nasolacrimal duct melanoma are presented. A literature review revealed that no previous cases of primary nasolacrimal duct melanoma have been reported. Current therapeutic modalities are discussed.

Pediatric nasolacrimal duct obstruction

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2013
Review the current management for pediatric nasolacrimal duct obstruction and congenital dacryocele.Early probing in the office, and probing beyond 1 year of age in a facility with general anesthesia are equally effective. Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction is associated with anisometropic amblyopia. Infants with unilateral dacryocele are at risk

Nasolacrimal Duct Anomaly in Calves

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1975
SUMMARY Supernumerary openings of the nasolacrimal drainage apparatus were found in 13 Brown Swiss calves. The cause of the anomaly was not determined but was assumed to be similar to that in man.
