ABSTRACT
A congenital nasolacrimal duct cyst is a very rare cause of respiratory distress and feeding difficulty in the newborn who is an obligate nasal breather. A case of bilateral nasolacrimal duct cysts (NLDC) without an associated congenital dacryocele was first reported in 1993. The authors present a case of a newborn with bilateral NLDC with intranasal extension causing respiratory distress, but with no evidence of dacrocystitis. Diagnostic studies included intranasal endoscopy and CT scanning of the nasolacrimal system and nose. The patient was treated by endoscopic marsupialization of the cysts. After six months of treatment, there was no evidence of recurrence.
