Abstract

Methods: Thirty two patients with distal lacrimal system pathology who underwent endonasal endoscopic DCR surgery in the Ear Nose and Throat Clinic were examined with endoscopy and their computed tomographies were evaluated for the nasal and paranasal pathologies. These findings were compared with 50 healthy subjects’ physical examination and computed tomography results. During the DCR operation patients were re-evaluated peroperatively for the nasal pathologies to be corrected if necessary. Results: No statistically significant difference was detected for the nasal septal deviation, agger nasi, concha bullosa, osteomeatal complex or ethmoid pathologies.
