“…Obstructions of the NLD occur due to multifactorial mechanisms that can be divided into primary (or congenital) and secondary related to infectious, inflammatory, or mechanical etiologies that may be associated with surgical procedures such as turbinectomies, frontal sinus surgeries, maxillary osteotomies, external or endoscopic maxillectomies, rhinoplasties, reduction and fixation of facial fractures, among others [4,9]. These procedures can damage the NLD and produce ocular conditions such as posttraumatic epiphora or lead to obstruction of lacrimal flow due to edema in soft tissues resulting in the involvement of the nasolacrimal complex [10][11][12][13][14]. Small changes in the diameter of the bony nasolacrimal canal whose normal values have been evaluated by several studies can cause these types of conditions [15].…”

The study aimed to measure the distance of the nasolacrimal duct to adjacent anatomical structures in a sample of 150 CT scans from the San Ignacio University Hospital in Bogotá, Colombia, in 2021. The data was collected in a retrospective observational study based on non-probabilistic sampling. The results showed that the length of the nasolacrimal duct is greater in men than in women and decreases as age increases. The study highlights the need for studies that consider the specific characteristics of the Latin American population to establish reference points for surgical procedures in maxillofacial surgery.

Study Design Case series. Objective To describe the assessment and surgical approach to dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) for patients with nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) in the presence of orbital wall hardware. Methods The pre-operative assessment, management and outcomes of two patients with secondary acquired NLDO following medial orbital wall fracture repair treated by nasal endoscopic DCR. Results Anatomical and functional success was achieved in both cases at 6 weeks post operatively without disruption of the orbital plate. There was persistent success at 1 and 3 years’ post-operatively. Conclusions Endoscopic DCR is a good option for the treatment of NLDO in patients with previous medial orbital wall fracture repair where the location of the plate may complicate the external approach.
