BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To identify the causes of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction using intranasal endoscopy.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eleven children with symptoms of epiphora since birth were selected for treatment. A silicone tube was inserted after identifying the causes of prior probing failures by observing the probing tip directly with intranasal endoscopy.
RESULTS: As confirmed through intranasal endoscopic examination, tearing was caused by mucosal obstruction, submucosal passing of the probe, pus collection, and inferior turbinate impaction. The probe passed into the submucosal space in 5 patients and, by performing probing medially instead in the usual posterolateral direction, probing succeeded in 4 patients. One case was accompanied by a bone abnormality; we bent the probe tip into the nasal cavity to form the lacrimal pathway.
CONCLUSION: By using intranasal endoscopy, a silicone tube can be inserted under direct visualization and any causative abnormalities can be identified. This can also minimize the intranasal trauma sometimes caused by blind probing.
