    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Nuclear Medicine

    Background:

    • Lacrimal drainage system disorders require accurate diagnosis.
    • Conventional methods may have limitations in assessing tear flow dynamics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of lacrimal dacryoscintigraphy.
    • To assess its role in pre- and postoperative evaluation of the lacrimal drainage apparatus.

    Main Methods:

    • Lacrimal dacryoscintigraphy was employed.
    • Comparison with x-ray dacryocystography was considered.

    Main Results:

    • Dacryoscintigraphy provides definite diagnosis of obstructions and stenosis.
    • It is the optimal method for measuring tear drainage dynamics, particularly in the canaliculi.

    Conclusions:

    • Lacrimal dacryoscintigraphy is a valuable, low-stress diagnostic tool.
    • It complements other methods, expanding diagnostic accuracy for lacrimal drainage issues.
