Abstract
- Epiphora is usually caused by nasolacrimal duct obstruction. The nasolacrimal duct obstruction is related with facial trauma, other nasal or paranasal sinus diseases, or recurrent dacryocystitis. We describe a case of iatrogenic nasolacrimal duct obstruction that occurred secondary to midfacial autologous fat injection. In our case, mal positioned fat tissue was detected on the dacryocystogram to be present in the lacrimal sac and the nasolacrimal duct. They were safely removed during dacryocystorhinostomy.
