Background: Chronic dacryocystitis is an unpleasant disease. It is a common condition presenting with watering from the eye. Usually there is a block at the nasolacrimal duct where it opens into the inferior meatus. The study was done to do a clinical analysis of the cases of chronic dacryocystitis.Methods: 51 cases of clinically diagnosed chronic dacryocystitis were taken and, clinical analysis of the cases regarding age, sex, presenting symptom, nature of discharge was done. LPI was done in all the cases. DCR or DCY was done as treatment.Results: Common age of presentation was third decade or fourth decade. Female were worse sufferer. Discharge from eye was present in all the cases.Conclusions: A female in third or fourth decade having discharge from eye since years, chronic daryocystitis is to be ruled out. DCR is an effective method of treatment.

Background: Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous disease. Aim of the study was to do a clinicopathological evaluation of the cases of rhinosporidiosis. Study design was longitudinal.Methods: The study was undertaken in MKCG medical college. 151 cases of rhinosporidiosis were taken. Pedunculated or sessile, fleshy, polypoidal, reddish looking mass with spores on the surface were clinically diagnosed as rhinosporidiosis. Age, sex distribution, site of presentation and socioeconomic status was studied. The swellings of lacrimal sac were doughy in consistency. The conjunctival mass was excised and thermocautery applied. For the cases of lacrimal sac dacryocystectomy was done.Results: The cases were more common in male children of low socioeconomic status. Palpebral conjunctiva is the common site of involvement. History of pond bath was present in almost all the cases. History of bleeding from nose and eye was present in many cases.Conclusions: Rhinosporidiosis is a common condition of our locality. Treatment is simple by excising the growth and cauterising the site. Taking bath in pond water is supposed to be the cause of the disease. The disease can be prevented by avoiding pond bath.

Neurofibromasis is the most common phacomatosis having a frequency of approximately 1 case per 3500 persons in general population. The syndrome of neurofibromasis consists of two distinct genetic diseases with considerable phenotype overlap. We present here five cases of neurofibromatosis with atypical presentations. Their clinical presentations and management are different.
