| Abstract;We diagnosed three cases with atresia of nasolacrimal duct. All the cases had lacrimation and eye discharge since birth. Repeated attempts with bougie were futile. All the cases had extraocular anomalies. One had bilateral atresia and EEC syndrome with bilateral ectodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and cleft palate. Another had bilateral atresia and Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome. The other had unilateral atresia, ventricular septal defect, cleft palate, and arytenolaryngeal malacia. All the cases showed anomalies at the lower portion of nasolacrimal duct by dacryocystography using computerized tomography. The bone shadow of nasolacrimal duct was unclear and lacked connections with the lower nasal meatus. Abnormal shadow was present in the lumen of the nasolacrimal duct. Symptomatic cure was obtained by dacryocystorhinostomy in all the cases. (author abst.) |
