Lacrimal Fistula

Acquired lacrimal fistula occurs in an improperly and inadequately treated lacrimal sac abscess. This study was done to evaluate the success of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (EDCR) in treating such lacrimal fistula. A retrospective analysis of nine cases of acquired lacrimal fistulae in seven patients, treated by EDCR without any external surgery was carried out. Cessation of epiphora and closure of fistula were considered, successful outcomes. All the nine fistulae closed, and all patients were relieved of their epiphora within two weeks of surgery. It can be concluded that EDCR is effective for treating an acquired lacrimal fistula.

Lacrimal Drainage

Congenital lacrimal fistulas are rare epithelium-lined tracts that tend to have a direct communication between skin and the lacrimal drainage system. These are benign developmental abnormalities, that may require no treatment. This is a rare diagnosis since patients are usually asymptomatic and presents only when epiphora is associated. When symptomatic, congenital lacrimal fistula presents as epiphora, or mucoid discharge, rarely patients could develop nasolacrimal duct obstruction, which may present as recurrent dacryocystitis. Thorough clinical examination is the best way to diagnose the condition, where a fistula ostium may be found inferonasal to medial canthus of the eye. Further, lacrimal probing and irrigation is helpful. Surgical management of the fistula is advised only if the disease is symptomatic which ranges from simple excision to dacryocystorhinostomy. This is a report of one such patient with congenital lacrimal fistula which was treated surgically by fistulectomy.

Aim To evaluate the occurrence of co-existing congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) and other lacrimal anomalies in eyes with congenital glaucoma (CG). Methods Retrospective analysis of children aged ≤1-year with co-existing CG and CNLDO seen between 1998 and 2019, treatment interventions and outcomes. Results During the study period, 1993 children had CG and 6203 children had CNLDO, among the children aged 1-year or less. Of these, 51 children (73 eyes) had co-existing CG and CNLDO. The prevalence of CNLDO in CG was 2.5% (51/1993) and the prevalence of CG among CNLDO was 0.8% (51/6203). Median age (Interquartile range, IQR) was 53 days (IQR: 8, 155), when they were diagnosed with CG. Among the children with CNLDO, 68 eyes (93.1%) had simple CNLDO, and 5 eyes (6.9%) had complex CNLDO. Associated lacrimal anomalies were present in 7/73 eyes, including congenital lacrimal fistula in two eyes, upper punctal agenesis and upper mid-canalicular obstruction in two eyes each, and upper single canalicular-wall hypoplasia in one eye. Lacrimal syringing and probing were successful in 69/72 eyes (95.8%), and failed in 3 eyes (4.2%). These 3 eyes had complex CNLDO and underwent Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) with Mitomycin-C and intubation. Sixty-two eyes underwent combined trabeculotomy and trabeculectomy, and two eyes underwent trabeculectomy. Median age at glaucoma surgery was 87 days (IQR: 54, 193). Median time delay for glaucoma surgery after probing was 18 days (IQR: 12, 35). Conclusion Among children aged ≤1-year presenting with congenital glaucoma coexisting lacrimal drainage anomalies was noted in 2.5% and simple CNLDO was the commonest. Early intervention is of paramount importance to prevent sight-threatening intraocular infection with CNLDO, and to minimize the delay of glaucoma surgery. The outcomes of lacrimal probing were excellent, however complex CNLDO required DCR.
