Abstract
|
|
|
In this study, we present a case of bilateral dacryocele with orbit magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images. Otherwise healthy, full term, 46-day-old boy was referred for the evaluation of bilateral orbital mass with both eye discharge. External examination revealed palpable bluish mass on both medial canthus. On orbit MRI images, bilateral cystic masses were visible in his both nasolacrimal duct on T2 weighted MRI images with fluid level on left side. The size of masses had decreased after 3 days of diagnosis. There are only few previous articles describing on MRI findings of dacryocele, especially in bilateral cases. Therefore, we are here to present orbit MRI images of bilateral dacryocele that may be valuable to clinicians interested in congenital nasolacrimal anomalies.
