New polypropylene tube to stent or bypass the lacrimal system.

A tube made of polypropylene has been used both as a stent after canalicular reconstruction or repair and as a bypass device to drain tears when the canaliculi have been destroyed. The tube comes in different sizes, can be cut to any length, can be bent to any shape and can easily be flanged at the nasal end by the surgeon. The tube has good capillarity and drains well. There is enough tissue reaction around it so that it will not extrude, yet when it is used as a stent it can easily be removed.

Computed tomography of bilateral lacrimal gland sarcoidosis.

The computed tomographic (CT) features of two cases of bilateral lacrimal gland sarcoidosis are presented. The incidence of this type of bilateral orbital involvement may be greater than the previously reported statistics, which were based purely on clinical examination. The CT findings and the differential diagnosis are discussed.

Radiographic and gross anatomy of the nasolacrimal duct of the horse.

The anatomy of the nasolacrimal duct of the horse was studied grossly and radiographically, using barium contrast dacryocystorhinography and methyl methacrylate casts. Radiographic contrast studies were performed on 4 specimens and gross dissections were performed on 6 specimens. Dacryocystorhinography accurately delineated the course of the nasolacrimal duct, as was subsequently demonstrated by gross dissection. A 60% barium sulfate suspension produced good radiographic contrast, allowing critical assessment of the anatomic features of the nasolacrimal duct.

[A new method of canalicular surgery: monofilament sutures without intubation. Study of 23 cases].

A new method has been developed for surgery of the lacrimal duct: direct suture with 10/0 nylon suture without intubation. The authors report their experience in the treatment of canalicular lacerations (20 cases) and herpetic canalicular stenosis (3 cases). Results were very good in the first group and variable in the second. Epiphora can persist in the second group, though to a lesser degree, because of the displacement of the lacrimal point.

Intubation macrodacryocystography.

Macrodacryocystography, when combined with bilateral canaliculus intubation gives simultaneous distension of the duct system and better contrast filling. As a result there is improved radiographic visualization of the exact site of pathology, particularly an obstruction. This important information makes it easier to chose the correct surgical technique to relieve epiphora. In addition, other pathology such as diverticula and fistula may be visualized. Subtraction may be a useful adjunct to the method. After a description of the normal anatomy of the lacrimal system, the technique is explained and the results of 52 examinations given.
