Article Synopsis
- Foreign bodies in the lacrimal drainage system can lead to complications and can come from various sources, making them challenging to deal with.
- A 57-year-old woman experienced excessive tearing in her right eye, prompting a diagnosis of an obstruction in the nasolacrimal duct and leading to surgery.
- During the surgery, an unusual polyp-like structure was discovered and later identified as an organic foreign body, highlighting the need for thorough analysis and teamwork in diagnosing rare cases.

Lacrimal sac mucopeptide concretions are not uncommon and usually identified following the lacrimal sac marsupialization during a dacryocystorhinostomy. A 39-year-old female presented with epiphora and discharge of 8 months duration and was diagnosed as primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction. During the endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy, a large intrasaccal polyp arising from the posterosuperior wall of the lacrimal sac with multiple inspissated mucopeptide concretions was noted.

Purpose: To date, there are many theories about tear transport through the canaliculi of the draining lacrimal system into the lacrimal sac but only few with supportive data. It is certain that the function of the lacrimal part of orbicularis oculi muscle (Horner-Duverney's muscle) is indispensable for the transport of "used" tears. However, the muscle's exact structure and the mechanisms of its functions are as yet unclear.

Background: In addition to basic ophthalmologic diagnostic workup, different radiologic procedures can be performed for assessment of nasolacrimal duct obstruction. However, no gold standard imaging technique has yet been established. Using the results of the present study, the advantages of helical CT-dacryocystography (CT-DCG) are demonstrated, particularly when performed before endonasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy.
