We report here a father and daughter with digital abnormalities, nasolacrimal duct obstruction, and variable alopecia. The father had a cleft lip and palate and the daughter had choanal atresia. We propose they both have the EEC syndrome and show the variable expressivity of this disorder. Choanal atresia has not been previously reported in this condition.

PURPOSE To determine the success rate of probing for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) in various age groups. METHODS One hundred children (118 eyes) aged 4 to 48 months diagnosed with CNLDO were included and divided into 6 groups; group 1: infants 4-6 months of age, group 2: infants from 7 to 12 months, group 3: toddlers 13-18 months of age, group 4: older toddlers 19-24 month...

IMPORTANCE Approximately 5% to 10% of patients continue to experience persistent epiphora following an anatomically successful dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) for nasolacrimal duct obstruction or stenosis. OBJECTIVE To investigate the management and success rate of so-called "functional failure" of DCR for nasolacrimal duct obstruction by experienced lacrimal surgeons. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PART...

To evaluate the incidence and characteristics of carriers of conjunctival methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci (MRCNS) among preoperative patients at an eye clinic, bacterial growth was studied in 978 conjunctival specimens of 628 preoperative patients without signs of ocular infection. Specimens were evaluated for growth ...

purpose: to determine the frequency of otolaryngological disorders in patients with congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (cnldo) as compared to controls. methods: in this case-control study, 80 children with cnldo (cases) and 80 children without cnldo (controls) were examined for ophthalmological and otolaryngological dosirders. data analysis was performed using pearson chi-square and fishe...

Dacryocystorhinostomy allows by-passing saccal and post-saccal stenoses and has traditionally been performed via an external approach, namely, external dacryocystorhinostomy. Over the past two decades, advances in endoscopic equipment have led to the widespread use of the endoscopic transnasal approach to the lacrimal pathway. A retrospective evaluation has been made of personal success rates i...

PURPOSE Monocanalicular intubation offers potential advantages over bicanalicular intubation including ease of removal and use of only one canaliculus. Recent reports suggest equal outcomes with both types of tubes for nasolacrimal intubation. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of monocanalicular intubation during external dacryocystorhinostomy. METHODS Fifty-seven lacrimal systems of 5...

A wide array of pathogenic factors has been associated with lacrimal drainage system obstruction including inflammatory conditions originating from the eye, conjunctiva, lacrimal mucosa, nose and paranasal sinuses; trauma; congenital abnormalities; radiotherapy and neoplasms. Inflammatory conditions initially cause lac-rimal mucosal swelling but may lead to fibrotic narrowing or obstruction of ...
