Abstract
The authors present the case of a 58-year-old female patient with a history of multiple episodes of acute dacryocistitis, treated by irrigation of the lacrimal punctum. She is admitted to our clinic for swelling of the lacrimal sac and mucopurulent discharge on applying pressure over the lacrimal sac. In spite of several irrigations, patients’ symptoms persisted and thus surgical treatment was decided. We performed a dacryocystorhinostomy with a lacrimal stent which was inserted by endonasal approach to reestablish the nasolacrimal connection. The patient didn’t require nasal packing and was discharged three days after surgery.
