[When should congenital lacrimal fistulae be operated? (AUTHOR'S TRANSL)].
In most cases of congenital lacrimal fistulae occuring in the ophthalmic literature the condition is diagnosed only during later life. Then, however, the congenital nature is doubtful. This paper describes a new-born with bilateral congenital lacrimal fistulae. Furthermore, the underfed patient has heart and genital malformations. The indication for surgical management of congenital lacrimal fistulae is discussed.
