Abstract:
The study was done on 9 children aged from 4-16 with 10 eyes having congenital or traumatic naso-lacrymal duct obstruction. These eyes with associated canalicular stenosis or obstruction were treated by dacryorhinostomy (DCR) and silicone intubation in six months. The successful prevalence of DCR is as high as that of DCR on adult: 90%. Among them, 70% were functional success. One eye having recurrent obstruction is traumatic case. The failure occurred when silicone tube is still inside the canacular. DCR in children is not difficult than that in adult. The complication is rare and easy solved.
