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.
