ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To describe a case of nasolacrimal duct obstruction after two-jaw surgery. CASE SUMMARY: A 22-year-old woman presented with a 1-year history of epiphora after two-jaw surgery. Orbital CT showed 5 mm of focal soft tissue at the level of the distal nasolacrimal duct. Dacryocystography showed complete obstruction at the nasolacrimal duct level. Thus a nasolacrimal duct obstruction was diagnosed by physical and radiologic examination. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with epiphora who have undergone two-jaw surgery, precise examination and treatment is required in order to exclude nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
