ABSTRACT

Objetivo: describir los resultados de la cirugía dacriocistorrinostomía externa en un año. Métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo longitudinal prospectivo en 25 pacientes, 28 ojos. Se consideraron las variables sexo, color de piel, edad, lado afectado, etiología, complicaciones y resultados de la cirugía. Resultados: hubo 7 pacientes masculinos y 18 femeninos; de ellos, 16 blancos y 9 no blancos con una diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p= 0,043). La edad promedio fue de 69 ± 11 años. En 13 pacientes (52,0 por ciento) se afectó el lado izquierdo y en el 68,0 por ciento la etiología fue involutiva con significación estadística (p= 0,0003). El sangramiento transoperatorio se presentó como complicación en el 24,0 por ciento de los pacientes. El 92,0 por ciento refirió mejoría de la sintomatología después de operados. Según el criterio del cirujano, la mejoría objetiva se obtuvo en el 88,0 por ciento de los casos. La dacriocistorrinostomía externa fue más frecuente en mujeres blancas encontradas entre su sexta y séptima década de vida. El lado izquierdo fue el más afectado con predominio de la etiología involutiva. Las complicaciones fueron escasas; dentro de ellas predominó el sangramiento transoperatorio. Conclusiones: la mayoría de los pacientes sintieron mejoría después de la cirugía; el criterio del cirujano estuvo a favor de los resultados positivos en la cirugía dacriocistorrinostomía externa(AU)


Objective: to describe the results of external dacryocystorhinostomy surgery in one year. Methods: a prospective, longitudinal descriptive and observational study was conducted in 28 patients from 25 patients. The study variables were gender, race, age, affected side, etiology, complications and surgery outcomes. Results: there were 7 male and 18 female patients, 16 Caucasians and 9 non-Caucasians with statistically significant difference (p= 0,043). The mean age was 69 ± 11 years. The obstruction involved the left side in 13 patients (52 percent) and involution was the main etiology in 68 percent with statistical significance (p= 0,0003). Perioperative bleeding was the main complication (24 percent). In the group, 92 percent said the symptoms had reduced after surgery, and according to the surgeon, objective improvement was attained in 88 percent of cases. Conclusion: external dacryocystorhinostomy was more frequent in Caucasian women aged 60 to 70 years. The left side was the most affected, with prevailing involution etiology. There were minimum complications, being perioperative bleeding predominant. Most of the patients felt better after surgery and the surgeon´s criteria were in favor of the positive results of this surgery(AU)

ABSTRACT

A canaliculite lacrimal é uma afecção rara, cujo principal agente etiológico é o Actinomyces israelii. Ela deve ser considerada como um diagnóstico diferencial nos casos de conjuntivite crônica recorrente. O objetivo deste estudo é relatar 3 casos de pacientes com canaliculite crônica supurativa e diferentes formas de tratamentos. O primeiro paciente apresentou uma canaliculite superior esquerda e foi tratado com uma canaliculotomia. Entretanto, o mesmo desenvolveu uma canaliculite inferior ipsilateral após 6 meses e foi submetido a um esquema de injeção intracanalicular de cefazolina fortificada com resultado satisfatório. O segundo paciente apresentou uma canaliculite inferior esquerda e foi tratado com uma canaliculotomia. O terceiro paciente teve uma canaliculite inferior esquerda e foi submetido a um esquema de injeção intracanalicular de cefazolina fortificada. Ambos obtiveram completa resolução dos sintomas e sinais. O presente estudo demonstra que a irrigação intracanalicular de cefazolina fortificada pode ser uma forma útil de tratamento de canaliculite crônica supurativa com sintomatologia mais branda. O maior benefício desta abordagem é evitar o traumatismo cirúrgico da canaliculotomia.


Lacrimal canaliculitis is a rare disease caused mainly by Actinomyces israelii. It should be regarded as a differential diagnosis of recurrent chronic conjunctivitis. The purpose of this study was to report 3 cases of chronic suppurative canaliculitis and different treatment options. The first patient presented with an upper left canaliculitis and was treated with a canaliculotomy. Nevertheless, he had an ipsilateral lower canaliculitis after 6 months and underwent intracanalicular injections of fortified cefazolin with complete remission. The second patient presented with a lower left canaliculitis and underwent a canaliculotomy. The third patient had a lower left canaliculitis and underwent intracanalicular injections of fortified cefazolin. Both achieved complete remission. The present article demonstrated that intracanalicular irrigation of fortified cefazolin may be a helpful treatment of chronic suppurative canaliculitis with mild symptoms and signs. The most important benefit of this approach is to avoid injury to the lacrimal canaliculus.

ABSTRACT

Dacryocystorhinostomy [DCR] is a procedure of choice for nasolacrimal duct obstruction and chronic dacryostenosis in the setting of patent canaliculi and a functional lacrimal pump. Two major approaches are utilized: external, via a transcutaneous incision and endonasal endoscopically guided. The surgery has a high success rate via both approaches. We review the history, evolution, current techniques, complications and future directions of DCR

ABSTRACT

La dacriocistorrinostomía es una modalidad terapéutica en niños con dacrioestenosis congénita o adquirida acompañada de dacriocistitis crónica donde la terapia médica, sondaje y la intubación no han tenido éxito. Se reporta la experiencia con 10 dacriocistorrinostomías en niños acompañada con intubación con tubos de polietileno o silicona. A pesar de que la dacriocistorrinostomía poco usada en niños en este trabajo se enfatizan las indicaciones para realizarla en estos pacientes
