Dacryoliths are calcifications in the tear drainage system that can cause eye swelling and epiphora. Panoramic radiographs can help identify these dacryoliths, distinguishing them from other abnormalities.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Radiology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Dacryoliths are calcified concretions within the nasolacrimal system.
  • They can lead to symptoms such as epiphora (tearing) and dacryocystitis (inflammation of the tear sac).

Observation:

  • This report details two cases of dacryolithiasis.
  • One patient presented with swelling and epiphora, while the other experienced headache, eye swelling, and inflammation.

Findings:

  • Dacryoliths were visualized on panoramic radiographs as small, radiopaque calcifications near the medial orbital wall.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed through clinical examination and dacryocystography in one case.

Implications:

  • Recognizing dacryoliths on panoramic radiographs is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
