Paediatric Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy: A treatment Option for Congenital Dacryocystitis

Congenital dacryocystitis is a condition that causes inflammation and infection of the lacrimal sac in newborns due to nasolacrimal duct occlusion. Traditional treatments for congenital dacryocystitis include lacrimal sac massage and topical medicines. If these therapy are proved to be ineffective, surgical options may be explored. Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) has emerged as a safe and effective surgical method for treating congenital dacryocystitis. We described a case of congenital dacryocystitis in an eight-year-old child who was effectively treated by endoscopic DCR.
