Purpose:
To describe the clinical features and treatment outcomes in patients with the centurion syndrome.
Methods:
Review of medical records.
Results:
Forty patients, 38 of whom were male, were examined. Epiphora commenced during the second decade of life in all patients. Fluorescein dye pooled near the medial canthus because of anterior displacement of the medial lower eyelid and inferior punctum. Probing of the canaliculi and irrigation of the lacrimal drainage system confirmed anatomic patency in all patients. Disinsertion of the anterior limb of the medial canthal tendon relieved epiphora by restoring normal apposition between the lower eyelid and the globe in all 22 patients who underwent surgery.
Conclusion:
Centurion syndrome is a unique clinical entity that may manifest as epiphora during puberty. Outcomes of surgical correction are favorable.
