Familial Lacrimal Punctal Agenesis in who are Members of Three Generations
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Lacrimal punctal agenesis is a rare cause of congenital epiphora and may occur in isolation or in combination with other lacrimal drainage anomalies such as pathologies of the canaliculus, lacrimal sac, and nasolacrimal duct. It rarely occurs in a familial manner. If diagnosed earlier, management of this condition may be as simple as a sharp opening or may necessitate more complex interventions. Here, we report the familial absence of lacrimal punctal in four patients who are members of three generations.

متن کاملTarsorrhaphy and lacrimal occlusion
Corneal hydration and protection can be achieved through increased lubrication or decreased evaporation.

Three general approaches can be used: temporary, reversible, or permanent occlusion of the lac...
