Purpose: To report the association of congenital nasolacrimal duct occlusion and clinical anophthalmos in an eight-year-old girl.
Methods: A case report. The patient suffered from epiphora and clinical anophthalmos on the right side since birth. This paper presents the clinical presentation, workup, and surgical approach of the case.
Results: The nasolacrimal system of the patient was occluded on irrigation. Computed tomography showed a blockage at the level of the sac-duct junction, an enlarged nasolacrimal duct below the obstruction, and a sclera-like ball of tissue surrounded by extraocular muscles in the right orbit. Treatment included a right bicanalicular silicon intubation performed under general anesthesia.
Conclusion: This case may represent a new association that has not been previously reported.

Practice patterns among ophthalmic surgeons in treating concomitant oculoplastic conditions in preoperative period: A questionnaire-based study.
World J Clin Cases
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar 751019, Odisha, India.
Background: Addressing oculoplastic conditions in the preoperative period ensures both the safety and functional success of any ophthalmic procedure. Some oculoplastic conditions, like nasolacrimal duct obstruction, have been extensively studied, whereas others, like eyelid malposition and thyroid eye disease, have received minimal or no research.
Aim: To investigate the current practice patterns among ophthalmologists while treating concomitant oculoplastic conditions before any subspecialty ophthalmic intervention.
Transcanalicular laser-assisted and external dacryocystorhinostomy anatomical and functional success in primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO) is a condition in which tear ducts are blocked, leading to epiphora and dacryocystitis. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to measure the ability of transcanalicular dacryocystorhinostomy (TC-DCR) as an alternative approach to PANDO compared to traditional external dacryocystorhinostomy (EX-DCR).
Methods: Our search included Embase, Medline, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL).

Purpose: To compare the nasolacrimal and nasal anatomical parameters in cases of acquired primary nasolacrimal duct obstruction and acute dacryocystitis.
Methods: The study included 62 eyes of 31 patients. The eyes were divided into three groups: Group A, comprising eyes presenting with acute dacryocystitis; Group B, comprising eyes with nasolacrimal duct obstruction but no previous episodes of dacryocystitis; and Group C, comprising eyes with an patent nasolacrimal duct.

Objective: This study aims to determine the outcomes of probing and external dacryocystorhinostomy (exDCR) for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (cNLDO) and the factors influencing the success rates in pediatric cNLDO.
Design: A retrospective sample collection was conducted at the oculoplastic referral center over 10 years (January 2012 to December 2022) for cNLDO patients who had undergone probing or exDCR.
Methodology: Data were retrospectively reviewed for patients aged ≤18 years who underwent probing or exDCR.
