Abstract:
Posttraumatic dacryocystitis in children are associated with different anatomic defects of the external nose, nasal cavity, eyelids and adjacent tissues. These injuries may complicate conventional endonasal dacryocystorhynostomy. The first step in the treatment of posttraumatic dacryocystitis should be surgical correction of nasal breathing. It is also necessary to apply bone window at least 1.2 cm in diameter followed by formation of the stoma using intubation tube.
