Abstract
- The value of dacryoscintigraphy in the assessment of lacrimal drainage system was examined in 20 children below 34 months of age, 28 symptomatic eyes and 12 asymptomatic eyes. Of 28 symptomatic eyes, 20(71%) had abnormalities of tear drainge on dacryoscintigraphy. Of 12 asymptomatic eyes, 10 had normal tear drainage systems on dacryoscintigraphy. Because of the good natural physiological character and simplicity of this procedure and lower risk of radiation hazard. dacryoscintigraphy is a useful technique in the assessment of lacrimal drainage systems in children with symptom of epiphora.
