ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
In a preliminary series of 36 eyes with partial nasolacrimal duct obstruction, the types of dacryoscintigraphy result were classified and the results of silicone tube intubation were analysed.METHODS:
The results of dacryoscintigraphy, performed in 36 eyes of 29 patients with partial nasolacrimal duct obstruction, were classified into the following 3 types pre-lacrimal sac type, proximal nasolacrimal duct type and distal nasolacrimal duct type. Punctoplasty accompanied by silicone tube intubation was conducted selectively.RESULTS:
In dacryoscintigraphy, symptoms improved in 6 eyes among 6 in distal nasolacrimal duct type (100%), 14 eyes among 18 in proximal nasolacrimal duct type (77.8%) and 8 eyes among 12 in pre-lacrimal sac type (66.7%).CONCLUSIONS:
We conclude that dacryoscintigraphy predicts the results of silicone tube intubation. Furthermore, silicone tube intubation was effective in proximal nasolacrimal duct type and distal nasolacrimal duct type, but less effective in pre-lacrimal sac type of partial nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
