Abstract
The authors present a case of endonasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy in a 4-month-old girl suffering from remarkable epiphora, persistent bulging and recurrent abscesses in the medial canthal region of the left eye. All conservative therapeutic attempts failed. Several external incisions were performed in order to solve the acute phases of the inflamed lacrimal sac. The procedure was performed by means of otologic microsurgical instruments under endoscopic control. No silicone stent was used. Ten months after surgery, the girl is doing very well.Keywords
