OBJECTIVE
To report the case of a 53-year-old woman with a 2-year history of episodic upper eyelid swelling and nonspecific complaints, who was diagnosed as having allergic conjunctivitis.
METHODS
A complete ocular examination, orbital computerized tomographic (CT) scans followed by complete
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects of probing of lacrimal passage on congenital dacryocystitis.
METHODS
474 consecutive infants with congenital dacryocystitis were treated with probing of lacrimal passage. The data were retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTS
In 474 eyes, there were 360 and 122 eyes
Thirty-three patients (35 observations) with lacrimal sac hydrops, aged 16 to 84, 31 females and 2 male ones, were examined and operated on. The condition was bilateral in 2 patients. The studies have revealed that lacrimal sac hydrops may develop in chronic dacryocystitis in various periods of this
This report presents two cases of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC)-associated dacryocystitis. Both patients presented with preseptal edema. Orbital computed tomography (CT) scans were performed out of concern for orbital cellulitis and revealed soft tissue edema involving the preseptal aspect of
The present report discusses a new case of dacryoadenitis with extraocular muscle inflammation associated with Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) in a contact lens wearer. A 41-year-old male, who has worn silicone hydrogel contact lenses on an extended basis for about 10 years, attended with the complaints
This report describes the unusual occurrence of acute dacryocystitis secondary to exudative rhinitis. An 18-year-old man with no prior history of tearing or dacryocystitis presented with acute left dacryocystitis. Nasal mucosal edema, lymphoid hyperplasia, and exudate obstructed the ostium of his
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and outcomes of early bicanalicular silicone intubation in the treatment of acute purulent dacryocystitis.
METHODS
This prospective interventional case series focused on acute purulent dacryocystitis from February 2010 to March 2014. Of the 21 cases, 16
Pediatric acute dacryocystitis typically develops due to persistence of Hasner's membrane. Pediatric paranasal mucoceles are rare entities. In contrast, chronic dacryocystitis in cases of congenital dacryostenosis is one of the most frequent pediatric ophthalmologic Primary tumors of the lacrimal sac are extremely rare and predominantly epithelial in origin. We report a unique case of fibromyxoma of the lacrimal sac in an 86-year-old Caucasian woman who presented with 3 months of lower eyelid edema and 1 week of purulent discharge, epiphora, and acute pain.
A 15-year-old boy presented with left-sided ptosis, upper eyelid swelling, proptosis, conjunctivitis, and a central corneal epithelial defect with thinning. MRI demonstrated an enhancing orbital mass associated with the lacrimal gland. Biopsy findings were consistent with orbital inflammatory
The understanding of 'pseudotumors' has significantly changed with the advent of modern imaging techniques by which the tissues affected in the orbit can be identified, and nonspecific orbital inflammatory disease is classified according to the tissue involved. Twenty cases of nonspecific orbital
To evaluate the clinical characteristics, histopathology, and treatment outcomes in adult and pediatric patients with nonspecific orbital inflammation (NSOI).This retrospective study evaluates 76 patients with NSOI. The patients were categorized in 9 groups BACKGROUND
To describe an approach to restore the physiological tear passages of an obstructed lacrimal drainage system with instruments introduced through one of the lacrimal punctum.
METHODS
In a first step a miniature endoscope (Ø: 0.9, 1.1, 1.3 mm) is introduced in one of the lacrimal punctum to
Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (EN-DCR) is a procedure that presents itself as an alternative choice to the conventional external approach. This study describes the results of endoscopic endonasal non-laser lacrimal surgery. We reported the data of 64 procedures of 63 patients with epiphora or
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate in a prospective, multicenter setting the long-term effectiveness of polyurethane stents in the percutaneous management of epiphora.
METHODS
Patients (n = 426; age range, 19-88 years, mean, 48; 91 men, 335 women) with severe epiphora had stents (470 eyes/496 stents) inserted to
