Abstract:
Congenital arhinia is a rare anomaly characterized by a syndrome called Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome. A 22-year-old woman with a history of congenital arhinia presented with bilateral discharge and enlarged bilateral lacrimal sacs, with imaging consistent with bilateral dacryocystoceles and complete absence of nasal structures. This is the first case in the literature that describes surgical management of bilateral dacryocystoceles in a patient with Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome.
