“…As a result, the diagnosis of a lacrimal duct cyst requires not only that the fetal head be appropriately positioned, but also that the sonographer take the time to image the region adjacent to the orbits. The ophthalmological (Mansour et al, 1991), otolaryngological (Mazzara et al, 1993), and radiological (John and Boldt, 1990) literature is replete with reports of congenital nasolacrimal duct cysts causing nasal and airway obstruction. In contrast to these reports, Davis et al (1987) reported two cases of antenatally detected lacrimal duct cysts that resolved spontaneously.…”

“…Dies führt sekundär zur Kompression der in den Tränensack einmündenden Canaliculi lacrimales. Es entsteht ein Ventilmechanismus, der zwar den weiteren Einstrom von Tränenflüssigkeit erlaubt, eine retrograde Entleerung über die Puncta lacrimalia aber verhindert [9,12,15]. Aus dieser sowohl distalen als auch proximalen Obstruktion der Trä-nenwege resultiert die Dakryozystozele (Abb.…”

“…Gelegentlich wölbt sich der distale dilatierte Anteil der Dakryozystozele weit in den unteren Nasengang vor und führt vor allem bei beidseitigem Vorliegen zur schwerwiegenden respiratorischen Beeinträchtigung der ausschließlich nasenatmenden Neugeborenen. Manchmal ist das Symptom Atemnot, hervorgerufen durch große intranasale Zystenanteile, führend, ohne dass eine auffallende Schwellung des medialen Augenwinkels besteht [4,8,9,15]. Meist perforieren Dakryozystozelen spontan, so dass bei komplikationslosem Verlauf ohne Entzündungszeichen oder respiratorische Probleme auf invasive therapeutische Maßnah-men wie Sondierung des Tränennasenganges oder chirurgische Abtragung endonasaler Zystenanteile verzichtet werden kann.…”

“…Respiratory distress would be commonly associated with congenital dacryocystocele with nasal extension because infants are obligate nasal breathers, [7][8][9] and bilateral ones can cause lifethreatening airway obstruction. On examination after a proper decongestion of nose, endoscopy will reveal a cystic mass arising from the undersurface of inferior turbinate, which will be soft and compressible when palpated with a nasal probe or suction, or sometimes just redundant mucosa without an obvious mass is visualized.…”
