Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of the occurrence of bloody tears; emphasis is placed on the features of pathology in the pediatric cohort of patients. The aim of the work is to identify the features of modern approaches to the diagnosis of hemolacria in children. The article is based on the analysis of literature data. The authors present up-to-date data on the etiopathogenesis of hemolacria: injuries, operations, inflammatory and infectious processes, anatomical features of the lacrimal apparatus, systemic diseases associated with pathology of the hemostasis system, vascular disorders, psychological genesis, neoplasms, vicarious menstruation, as as taking certain medications. Modern approaches to the diagnosis of hemolacria are discussed. A thorough examination of patients will allow you to correctly determine the tactics of treatment. The article provides information about idiopathic hemolacria, the diagnosis of which requires the exclusion of other causes of bloody tears. Statistical features of idiopathic hemolacria, as well as concomitant conditions are described; the most common are headache, i.e. migraine, epistaxis, hematohidrosis. The review is illustrated by a clinical case of hemolacria in a 13-year-old girl with the development of epistaxis in 1 month. Examination of the patient revealed the idiopathic nature of the pathology. Key words: hemolacria, bloody tears, diagnostics, idiopathic hemolacria, children
