This patient had no other associated congenital anomalies reported by various workers. Congenital upper eyelid colobomas and choristomas a potential threat to vision at an early age and a significant cosmetic blemish later in life. Early surgical intervention is usually required when the defect is larger than one third of the eyelid margin. Close monitoring of the visual development of patients with congenital upper eyelid colobomas and choristomas is also essential since the risk of amblyopia in these patients is high
RESUMO
To evaluate the efficiceny and safety of dacryocystorhinostomy in children. We report a retrospective study about 20 patients aged under 16 years old who underwent dacrycystorhnistomy. Patients were aged from 4 to 16 years. Dacryocystorhninostomy was indicated for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction in all cases. Only 7 patients [35%] have previously one [or two] nasolacrimal probing. Dacryocystorhinostomy was associated with nasolacrimal intubation in 13 cases [65%]. Preoperative haemorrhage occurred in 1 patient [5%]. Post operative complications occurred in 2 patients [10%], one had infection of the wound and another patient had externalization of the nasolacrimal intubation. Success rate of surgery was 95%. Dacryocystorhinostomy is effective in the treatment of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction that persist or in cases of failure of probing
