Abstract
- PURPOSE
To investigate the incidence and importance of diagnosis of lacrimal sump syndrome after endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR). METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on 837 eyes in 732 patients, (male 196, female 536) who had undergone endonasal DCR between January 2001 and June 2004. Dacryocystography (DCG) was performed in those patients who had recurrent epiphora or symptoms of dacryocystitis without saline regurgitation on syringing. RESULTS: Among the 90 eyes (10.8%) who had recurrent epiphora after endonasal DCR, 8 eyes were diagnosed with lacrimal sump syndrome and this comprised 8.9% of the causes of DCR failure. CONCLUSIONS: Lacrimal sump syndrome should be considered in the case of patients with recurrent epiphora. However, normal syringing finding after endonasal DCR, and revision may relieve the patients's symptom.
