Lacrimal ultrasonography offers a painless, noninvasive method for evaluating lacrimal drainage system lesions. This imaging technique complements others but primarily identifies gross anatomical abnormalities, not functional integrity.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • The lacrimal drainage system is crucial for ocular health.
  • Accurate diagnosis of lacrimal system lesions is essential for effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey the principles, technique, and applications of lacrimal ultrasonography.
  • To describe the normal ultrasound findings, indications, and limitations of this imaging modality.

Main Methods:

  • Review of principles and technique of lacrimal ultrasonography (echography).
  • Description of normal ultrasound appearance of the lacrimal drainage system.
  • Discussion of indications, applications, and limitations.

Main Results:

  • Lacrimal ultrasonography is a painless, noninvasive in-office procedure.

  • The technique complements other imaging modalities and can be correlated with histology.
  • Ultrasound reveals gross anatomical abnormalities but not functional integrity.

    • Conclusions:

    • Lacrimal ultrasonography is a valuable tool for evaluating lacrimal drainage system lesions.
    • Its potential is increasingly recognized, offering a complementary diagnostic approach.
    • Limitations include the inability to assess functional aspects of the excretory system.
