Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the significance of routine lacrimal sac biopsy during dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery for patients with chronic epiphora, examining potential underlying diseases beyond chronic inflammation.
- A total of 50 patients underwent endoscopic DCR with nasolacrimal duct biopsy, revealing chronic inflammation in 66% of cases, along with other conditions like chronic dacryocystitis and rarer findings like neoplasms.
- The results suggest that while neoplasms and granulomas are uncommon, their detection during routine biopsies during DCR can provide crucial insights into the causes of lacrimal sac or duct obstruction.
