BACKGROUND: Dacryocystographic evaluation of the location of stenoses of the lacrimal pathways was carried out in patients with epiphora to define the frequency and morphology of canalicular stenosis.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) dacryocystograms of 55 consecutive patients with severe epiphora and stenoses of the lacrimal draining system were reviewed in a consensus between three evaluators to determine radiomorphologic criteria for the diagnosis of canalicular stenosis. In 9 cases 3D rotational dacryocystography was additionally used.
RESULTS: A total of 80 stenotic lesions were detected including 19 (24%) canalicular, 26 (32%) saccal and 35 (44%) ductal stenoses. In 9 of the patients 3D rotational dacryocystography was used to differentiate between canalicular (n=4) and saccal (n=5) stenosis. Increased resistance during continuous injection of contrast material and lack of distension of the distal ductal system were the main criteria for diagnosis of canalicular stenosis.
CONCLUSION: Presaccal stenoses accounted for nearly 25% of the stenoses found in this study. This type of stenosis occurs frequently and should not be overlooked on dacryocystography. 3D rotational dacryocystography may be helpful in unclear cases.
