    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Otorhinolaryngology

    Background:

    • Acute dacryocystic retention affects adults under 50.
    • It stems from a noninfective foreign body obstructing the nasolacrimal duct.

    Observation:

    • Characterized by sudden, severe unilateral facial pain.
    • Absence of significant localized swelling or erythema.
    • Palpation reveals slight induration and marked tenderness of the lacrimal sac.

    Findings:

    • Percutaneous aspiration of lacrimal sac contents.
    • Probing of the nasolacrimal duct.

    Implications:

    • This minimally invasive approach is typically curative.
    • Highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and intervention for nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
