Abstract
|
|
|
Epiphora is overflow of tears due to obstruction of lacrimal duct.
Dacryocystohuinostomy is the most common procedure to eliminate the epiphora secondary to complete or partial obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct. The procedure is to artificially create passage between lacrimal sac and nasal cavity. Especially,
epiphora would be accompany often by nasolacrimal duct obstruction when trauma of oromaxillofacial area lead to nasal fracture, medial wall jracture of orbit. Therfore in this case there are many case to perform dacryocystorhinostomy because
probing and
tubing is difficult to resolve the epiphora.
We performed 4 cases of dacryocystorhinostomy for adult nasolacrimal duct obstruction from May 1991 to October 1991. The results were very satisfactory in all the case. Epipora disappeared in all case.
