Abscess of the lacrimal sac due to chronic or subacute dacryocystitis: treatment with temporary stent placement in the nasolacrimal duct.

Stents were placed temporarily in 10 obstructed lacrimal systems in patients with a chronic or subacute lacrimal abscess that did not respond to conventional antibiotic therapy. In all 10 cases, the abscess was treated successfully. Long-term patency of the lacrimal system was restored in five cases. Temporary stent placement appears to be a promising method to treat a chronic or subacute lacrimal abscess.

Nasolacrimal duct obstruction classified by dacryoendoscopy and treated with inferior meatal dacryorhinotomy: Part II. Inferior meatal dacryorhinotomy.

PURPOSE: To report the performance of a newly devised technique, inferior meatal dacryorhinotomy (iDR), for membranous PNLDO (lower PNLDO). DESIGN: Retrospective, nonrandomized clinical trial. METHODS: Forty cases (37 patients) who ranged in age from 42 to 89 years old with lower PNLDO were treated by iDR, which is intubation that is assisted by dacryoendoscope, nasal endoscope, and radio-frequency scalpel. The obstructed site was incised with a radio-frequency scalpel without osseous ablation, after which silicone tubes were placed temporarily. RESULTS: Postoperative follow-up evaluation showed that the success rate was 87.5% after 6 months to 2 years. CONCLUSION: The iDR technique is minimally invasive and effective for lower PNLDO.
