چکیده
In dealing with the treatment of these conditions I propose to devote my time chiefly to the methods of treatment of stenosis and inflammation of the lachrymal passages, passing quickly over those of congenital or traumatic origin. 1. Congenital.?The most frequent cause is obstruction at the lower end owing to a mass of epithelial cells situate at the nasal opening. This results in the formation in most cases of a mucocele. Treatment consists either (1) of Crigler's method, which by means of pressure occlusion of the canaliculi forces the contents of the sac down the canal and breaks down the obstruction, or if this does not suffice, then (2) the passage of a probe under an anaesthetic will ensure a cure, especially if the probe be rotated so as to completely open the lower end of the canal.
