Other congenital malformations of lacrimal apparatus - what does this mean
Other congenital malformations of the lacrimal apparatus occur when the structures that form the tear drainage system, such as the lacrimal sac, canaliculi, or nasolacrimal duct, are abnormal from birth. this can lead to tear drainage problems, such as epiphora (excess tearing) or dacryocystitis (inflammation of the lacrimal sac).
What happens during the disease - other congenital malformations of lacrimal apparatus
Other congenital malformations of lacrimal apparatus are caused by a disruption in the normal development of the lacrimal apparatus, which includes the eyelids, tear ducts, and tear glands. this disruption can be caused by genetic mutations, environmental factors, or a combination of the two, leading to the abnormal development of the lacrimal apparatus and the resulting malformations.
Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical examination of the eyes
- CT scan of the eye
- MRI of the eye
- Ultrasound of the eye
- X-ray of the eye
- Laboratory tests to identify hormonal or genetic abnormalities
- Genetic testing
- Ophthalmologic evaluation
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of treatment: To improve the functioning of the lacrimal apparatus.
- Perform an imaging test (CT scan, MRI, Ultrasound, etc.) to determine the nature of the malformation.
- Perform a dacryocystography to evaluate the patency of the nasolacrimal duct.
- Administer antibiotics to treat any infection.
- Perform a dacryocystorhinostomy to bypass any obstruction in the nasolacrimal duct.
- Perform a dacryocystectomy to remove any blockage in the nasolacrimal duct.
- Perform a dacryocystorhinostomy with intubation to bypass any obstruction in the nasolacrimal duct.
- Perform a dacryocystorhinostomy with stenting to bypass any obstruction in the nasolacrimal duct.
- Perform a dacryocystorhinostomy with laser treatment to bypass any obstruction in the nasolacrimal duct.
- Perform a dacryocystorhinostomy with balloon dilatation to bypass any obstruction in the nasolacrimal duct.
- Perform a lacrimal intubation to bypass any obstruction in the nasolacrimal duct.
- Perform a lacrimal stent insertion to bypass any obstruction in the nasolacrimal duct.
- Perform a lacrimal syringing to clear any blockage in the nasolacrimal duct.
- Perform a lacrimal probing to determine the cause of any blockage in the nasolacrimal duct.
5 Days of Hospitalization Required
196 Hours Required for Outpatient Treatment
Other congenital malformations of lacrimal apparatus - Prevention
Prevention of other congenital malformations of the lacrimal apparatus can be achieved by ensuring that pregnant women receive adequate prenatal care, including regular check-ups and screenings for potential complications. additionally, pregnant women should be encouraged to take a balanced diet, get enough rest, and avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, as these activities can increase the risk of developing birth defects.
