“…Yong et al using CT reported values similar to our study with regard to the length of the LF (vertical diameter) in Southwestern Asian population. Fayet et al (2005) and Groell et al using CT reported shorter LF length measures than ours, but did not specify the population studied. The difference observed in the measurements reported by some authors may be due, among other things, to differences in the method of measurement and morphological differences among the ethnicities of the studied groups.…”

SUMMARY:Primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction is greater in women over 40 years and has been associated with morphometric variations in the osseous nasolacrimal duct, which varies according to age and sex. The objective is to determine variations regarding sex and age of the nasolacrimal duct and osseous fossa for lacrimal gland. One hundred sixteen dry orbits from Mexican population were analyzed; subdivided into four groups based on age and sex. The length, transverse and anteroposterior diameters of the bone entrance of the nasolacrimal duct, and the length and width of the fossa for lacrimal gland were determined. Statistical tests were applied to determine the significance of the differences found between groups. The nasolacrimal duct in women had shorter length than men in both age groups. The entrance had a wider transverse diameter in women than men independently of age and its anteroposterior diameter was shorter in men under 40 years than over 40 years. The fossa for lacrimal gland was larger in women under 40 years than in men of same age group and women over 40 years old. The lower third of the was wider in women under 40 years than in women over 40 years. Our study confirms significant differences between sex and age groups in some of the morphometric measurements of bony nasolacrimal duct and fossa for lacrimal gland in Mexican population. Comparative studies with and without clinical illness are needed to clarify if the bony characteristics of those structures participate in the etiopathogenesis and distribution differences observed in sex, age and ethnicity of thisillness.

“…According to our experience, this second approach is more conservative, since it is based on the preoperative evaluation of the paranasal sinuses CT scan, in perfect agreement with the principle of endoscopic sinus surgery [17].…”

“…The lacrimal sac has an average diameter of 1.5 cm and is lo cated in the tear sac at a distance of approximately 0.5 cm from the skin; these factors allow medical thermography to provide a reliable thermal evaluation (9) . Cooling of the medial corner of the orbits is the expected normal response to the instillation test of cooled drops (4) .…”
