Purpose: Congenital dacryocystocele is a rare anomaly in the newborn child. The swelling of lachrymal sac is observed by birth and it is associated with obstruction of lachrymal system either above or below lachrymal sac.
Methods: Diagnosis was made by clinical observation. Some ancillary examinations, such as ultrasonography, tomography, and rhinoscopy, were useful.
Results: The authors describe the clinical case of a newborn with a unilateral congenital dacryocystocele. This anomaly was successfully treated with probing and marsupialization of the nasal cyst.
Conclusions: Treatment of this congenital anomaly is by light compressive massage, probing with silicone intubation of lachrymal system to assure prolonged permeability of the system, or with marsupialization of the nasal cyst. In some cases with intranasal extension of dacryocystocele, collaboration with an otolaryngologist may be necessary.

Article Synopsis
- Congenital dacryocystoceles are uncommon birth defects linked to blocked tear ducts, presenting symptoms like excessive tearing and swelling around the eye.
- A new minimally invasive endoscopic procedure was tested on 19 infants and young children, focusing on resecting the affected tissue without further manipulating the lacrimal duct, aiming to reduce complications.
- The treatment was effective, with a recurrence in only two older patients, while the rest showed no issues post-surgery, suggesting this method is beneficial but may be less successful in older children with previous infections.

Meningocele, a rare subtype of cephalocele, can manifest in various positions and exhibit diverse characteristics. On the other hand, dacryocystocele, also a rare anatomical disorder, typically presents as a cyst located between the nose and the eye. Generally, distinguishing between these 2 lesions is not difficult.

Objective: To determine the incidence and present our experience with prenatal diagnosis and postnatal outcome of dacryocystocele.
Material And Methods: All cases of congenital dacryocystocele diagnosed in our center between 2020 and 2022 were identified in our database to establish the incidence of these defects. The medical records were then reviewed for gestational age, gender, size, and side of dacryocystocele and postnatal outcome.

Congenital arhinia is a rare anomaly characterized by a syndrome called Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome. A 22-year-old woman with a history of congenital arhinia presented with bilateral discharge and enlarged bilateral lacrimal sacs, with imaging consistent with bilateral dacryocystoceles and complete absence of nasal structures. This is the first case in the literature that describes surgical management of bilateral dacryocystoceles in a patient with Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome (BAMS) is a rare syndrome consisting of several craniofacial abnormalities, including congenital arhinia. In this case report, the authors present the first case of a patient with BAMS and dacryocystocele who successfully underwent dacryocystectomy. Dacryocystectomy may serve as a viable surgical approach for dacryocystocele in patients with abnormal nasal anatomy.
