Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is any correlation between dacryocystitis with deviated nasal septum and sinusitis. A retrospective study of 50 patients who were diagnosed with dacryocystitis were included in the study. The patients included were operated between July 2018 and February 2017. All patients were assessed and operated by a single surgeon. We found in the study that 38 patients had deviated nasal septum to the diseased side and were operated for better achievement of surgical field and also for relieving the symptom of nasal obstruction in those patients. It was also found that those who were operated for deviated nasal septum were found to have better success rate post-operatively. The between dacryocystitis and deviated nasal septum was found to be statistically (0.000236). However, there such found between that of sinusitis and dacryocystitis.
