Abstract
|
|
|
A dacryolith is a concretion within the lacrimal drainage system. Although it may cause intermittent epiphora without inflammation, dacryoliths are often underlying contributors to recurrent or chronic dacryocystitis. It may occur anywhere along the lacrimal drainage system, albeit most commonly in the lacrimal sac. We report an interesting case of a dacryolith presenting as a mass of inferior meatus, which was managed via endonasal endoscopic approach.
