A six-month-old Basset Hound experienced eye watering and facial swelling due to a nasal cyst. Surgical treatment of this dacryops, a lacrimal gland cyst, resolved the condition.

Area of Science:

Veterinary Medicine
Ophthalmology
Anatomic Pathology

Background:

Dacryops, a cyst originating from the lacrimal gland, can cause significant clinical signs in animals.
Epiphora and facial swelling are common presenting complaints associated with orbital and nasal masses.

Observation:

A six-month-old Basset Hound presented with unilateral right epiphora and medial canthal/maxillary bone swelling.
Diagnostic imaging, including skull radiographs and dacryocystorhinography, identified a nasal cyst and right nasolacrimal duct obstruction.

Findings:

Laboratory analysis confirmed the nasal cyst as a dacryops.
The cyst was identified as being of lacrimal gland origin.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of considering dacryops in the differential diagnosis for epiphora and facial swelling in young dogs.

Successful surgical management, involving drainage and curettage, offers a positive prognosis for dacryops.

Further research into the etiology and پیشگیری of dacryops in canines may be warranted.
