“…They noted an increasing thickness of the bone as the lacrimal crest was approached; this thickening made even deliberate attempts to drive the osteotome into the lacrimal fossa quite difficult. They noted 2 earlier studies13, 14 that did describe lacrimal fossa injuries; however, in both of those studies, osteotomies were performed with nasal saws and not osteotomes. Glicklich and Laurentano15 evaluated nasal osteotomies after bilateral sphenoethmoidectomies in cadavers and found no evidence of fracture extension into the orbit or skull base.…”

“…T he lacrimal sac is quite vulnerable to damage by the lateral osteotomy of the rhinoplasty. 3,5,11,13 Transient nasolacrimal obstruction that usually resolves in 3 months is a common complication of maxillary sinus as well as rhinoplastic surgery. 5,7,8 Permanent nasolacrimal duct obstruction resulting in epiphora or problems of recurrent purulent ocular discharge and dacryocystitis is unusual.…”

“…Because of the close proximity of the nasolacrimal drainage system to the nasal bones and sinuses it is understandable that epiphora may be a complication of sinonasal surgery. Whilst this is usually a temporary phenomenon due to oedema and inflammation there is published literature of permanent epiphora following rhinoplasty, 8,9 functional endoscopic sinus surgery 10 and inferior meatal nasal antrostomy 11 . More commonly epiphora can occur following oncological resection of the maxilla.…”
