A 10-year-old female spayed Vizsla had intermittent mucoid ocular discharge from the right eye for 7 years. History, clinical findings, imaging studies, and culture and histopathology results confirmed chronic dacryocystitis with granuloma. A dacryocystomaxillorhinostomy was performed to preserve the functional portions of the nasolacrimal system remaining in this patient, as well as to promote healing of the lacrimal sac granuloma and secondary infection. Complete resolution of the clinical abnormalities was achieved, and the dog remains healthy 3 years postoperatively.

Application of S-100 absorbable hemostatic patch in endonasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy: A randomized controlled trial.
Indian J Ophthalmol
February 2025
Hainan Eye Hospital and Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University, Haikou, Hainan Province, China.
Purpose: To investigate the effect of S-100 absorbable hemostatic patch coverage on anastomotic mucosa in endonasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (En-DCR).
Methods: Two hundred and twenty-six patients with unilateral chronic dacryocystitis (CD) were randomly divided into two groups in a randomized controlled trial: the S-100 absorbable hemostatic patch group (group A) and the control group (group B). All patients underwent En-DCR.

Purpose: This study reviews all reported cases of lacrimal gland chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) to identify patterns in clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management to aid in early recognition and treatment of this uncommon occurrence.
Methods: A comprehensive search of medical literature databases was performed to identify studies reporting lacrimal sac involvement in CLL from 1970 to 2024. Data were extracted regarding demographics, symptoms, diagnostic methods, treatment, and outcomes.

SUMMARYSporotrichosis is a subacute-to-chronic infection endemic to tropical and subtropical regions. It usually involves subcutaneous tissue but can occasionally cause extracutaneous infections, especially in hyperendemic areas. Extracutaneous infections are classified based on the anatomic location of the lesion and the route of infection (primary or multifocal).

National Clinical Research Center for Ocular Diseases, Eye Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, China.
Aim: This research was designed to make a comparison of the treatment outcomes of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (En-DCR) in nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) with and without chronic dacryocystitis.
Methods: NLDO (obstruction group) and chronic dacryocystitis (dacryocystitis group) patients treated with En-DCR in the Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from March 2021 to February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to CT dacryocystography, patients in each group were assigned into the high obstruction group (obstruction located in the lacrimal sac) and the low obstruction group (obstruction located at or below the junction of the nasolacrimal duct and dacryocystis).
Superior Nasal Septal Deviation as a Contributing Factor for Dacryocystitis.

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Medical University of Plovdiv, Plovdiv, BGR.
Background Dacryocystitis (DC) is a disease most often caused by an obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct, leading to over-accumulation of tears in the lacrimal sac, epiphora, and aseptic inflammation. External and endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) aims to restore the tear pathway by creating a bypass from the lacrimal sac to the nose. The aim of this study is to investigate superior nasal septal deviation as a possible contributing factor in the incidence and treatment of dacryocystitis.
