In the present paper we have studied the gross anatomy of the ophthalmic artery in 200 human cadaver dissections viewed in four horizontal layers. The ophthalmic artery can be divided into the origin, intracranial, intracanalicular and intraorbital parts. The most common origin of the artery was from the medial half of the anterior side of the internal carotid artery (ICA) in its upper curve (52%), followed by the medial half of the superior side (44%), and in only 4% from the medial side of the upper curve of the ICA. We have examined the topographic anatomy of the ophthalmic artery in detail, and found a rare anastomosis of the ophthalmic artery with the frontal branch of the middle meningeal artery.
The authors present a case of endonasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy in a 4-month-old girl suffering from remarkable epiphora, persistent bulging and recurrent abscesses in the medial canthal region of the left eye. All conservative therapeutic attempts failed. Several external incisions were performed in order to solve the acute phases of the inflamed lacrimal sac. The procedure was performed by means of otologic microsurgical instruments under endoscopic control. No silicone stent was used. Ten months after surgery, the girl is doing very well.
