| Abstract | Purpose: To study cases of hardware-associated secondary acquired lacrimal duct obstructions (SALDO) and the role of computed tomography dacryocystography (CT-DCG) scans in its diagnosis and management. Observations: Retrospective, interventional case review of four patients diagnosed as Hardware-associated SALDO, with primary maxillofacial repair performed elsewhere, were analyzed. The mean age was 36.5 years (range: 22-74 years), three of them being males. Left and right lacrimal systems were equally involved. Epiphora, swelling and discharge were the main presenting features. Three lacrimal sacs and nasolacrimal ducts on CT-DCG showed the screws of the orbital fracture plate directly piercing their walls, whereas a single case showed the sac displaced and pierced by the medial side of the orbital floor implant. Two cases underwent dacryocystorhinostomy with intubation, and the remaining two had to undergo dacryocystectomy due to extensive damage. Post-operatively all four cases were doing well at a mean follow-up of 2 months. Conclusions: The present series highlights the role of CT-DCG in delineating spatial relationship of lacrimal drainage system with the surrounding structures, facilitating planning as well as choice of surgery, and anticipating the intraoperative challenges. It also signifies importance of interdisciplinary coordination between oculoplastic and maxillofacial surgeons to avoid iatrogenic trauma to the lacrimal drainage system. |
