Article Synopsis
- Epiphora, or excessive tearing, often results from blocked tear drainage, commonly due to idiopathic inflammation of the nasolacrimal duct.
- A case in Brazil involved a less invasive nasolacrimal stent implantation that ultimately required follow-up surgery (external dacryocystorhinostomy) after patient complaints persisted.
- While the stent method minimizes facial scarring and trauma, its long-term effectiveness is low, indicating a need for better designs and techniques to improve outcomes.
The latex biomembrane is a material from Hevea brasiliensis and has angiogenic properties, cellular adhesion and extracellular matrix formation. It has been used for the treatment of ulcers in the inferior extremities caused by diabetes, chronic vascular insufficiency and timpanic perforations. In this study we report a case of biomembrane use to promote granulation in the orbital cavity after exenteration in a male, 72 years, who came into our service with a left eyelid lesion for two years.
