ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
We report a case of fungal ball after Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) in a 40-year-old female patient. CASESUMMARY:
A 40-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital for left lower eyelid tenderness and bloody discharge from the lacrimal punctum. During a planned endoscopic DCR, the sac was opened after the osteotomy, and 2 fungal balls were found in the lacrimal sac. The masses were 7 × 5 mm and, 9 × 5 mm sized, irregularly shaped, and red in color. Aspergillus fumigatus was diagnosed pathologically. Postoperative paranasal sinus magnetic resonance imaging showed no residual fungal ball. During follow-up, the patient showed patent rhinostomy opening, and there was no evidence of fungal infection on nasal endoscopic finding.CONCLUSIONS:
Although Aspergillus fumigatus is a rare cause of canalicular obstruction, fungal ball development in the lacrimal sac can cause acute dacryocystitis.
