Morphometric Evaluation of Bony Nasolacrimal Canal in a Caucasian Population with Primary Acquired Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction: A Multidetector Computed Tomography Study
OBJECTIVE The bony nasolacrimal duct (BNLD) morphology as a contributory factor in primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO) is still controversial. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the morphometric differences of BNLDs in unilateral PANDO patients between PANDO and non-PANDO sides, as compared with the control group using multidetector computed tomography (CT).

DOS Times Vol. 12, No. 10 April, 2007 Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction is the most common cause of epiphora in children. In the majority of cases, it is due to an obstruction at the lower end of the NLD. The Ophthalmologist should have the throrough understanding of the developmental anatomy, abnormalities of the nasolacrimal system and other congenital disorders for appropriate diagnos...

متن کاملNasolacrimal Duct Obstruction
The eye has two sets of structures that produce tears. Smaller tear glands help maintain a baseline level of moisture on the surface of the eye. Unfortunately, inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogrens disease as well as aging and menopause lead to decreased tear production. As tear production diminishes, the surface of the eye starts to dry out. Further, inflammation of the o...
