Abstract
- Although congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction occurs commonly in infants, it rarely results in neonatal dacryocystitis. Recent reports have indicated a frequent association of neonatal dacryocystitis and nasolacrimal duct cysts. We experienced a case of bilateral nasolacrimal duct cysts in a neonate with dacryocystitis. Marsupialization of the cysts was safely accomplished under the direct endoscopic visualization using a microdebrider. The patient had an excellent postoperative course without recurrence. We report it with a review of the literature.
