Dacryocystorhinostomy: An effective method for treating nasolacrimal duct obstruction in young children
Lacrimal duct obstruction is the phenomenon of blockage of the nasolacrimal duct causing watery eyes and tearing in children. It can be congenital or acquired. Lacrimal duct obstruction can occur in one or both eyes of the child.
Some signs to recognize that a child has lacrimal duct obstruction include watery eyes, tearing, and may be accompanied by eye discharge similar to chronic conjunctivitis.
Lacrimal duct obstruction is not a rare disease, nor is it too complicated, but if not treated promptly, it can lead to chronic purulent dacryocystitis, conjunctivitis, keratitis, dacryocyst abscess, and even orbital tissue inflammation, leading to lacrimal fistula.
Currently, there are many treatment methods for lacrimal duct obstruction in young children. Among them, the nasolacrimal duct probing under anesthesia is considered the best method and has the highest effectiveness. This method has been implemented at the Eye Clinic – Hai Phong International Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital recently, and is often chosen by the families of patients due to its outstanding advantages compared to other methods:
– Easy to perform, allows for thorough flushing, and has a lower recurrence rate.
– Less pain for the child, minimizing psychological trauma.
