Congenital dacryocystocele: case report and treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dacryocystocele represents a rare congenital anomaly in the medial region of the orbit caused by distal obstruction (Hasner valve) and proximal (valve Rosenmüller) of the lacrimal system causing dilation of the lacrimal sac. Mucocele is called when the content is mucus and amniocele when the content is filled with amniótico fluid. The incidence is only 0.1% in children with nasolacrimal duct obstruction. It is commonly unilateral and more frequent in women with familial predisposition. The diagnosis is made by clinical features: tense cystic lesion below the medial canthal tendon, blue-gray, pink or red color with epiphora since birth. However we can use image tests to diagnose this congenital anomaly such as tomography computerized, magnetic resonance and ultrasonography.

متن کاملCongenital nasolacrimal duct cyst/dacryocystocele: An argument for a genetic basis
Embryogenesis of a congenital nasolacrimal duct (NLD) cyst is attributed to the failure of the Hasner membrane of the NLD system to cannulate. Prenatal diagnosis of congenital NLD cysts supports the argument for a developmental error, with a postnatal prevalence of 6%. The role of a genetic basis for this malformation has never been ascribed. We present a set of monozygotic twins with bilateral...
