Abstract

Purpose: This study was to evaluate postdacryocystographic spiral CT in the diagnosis of stenoses of the nasolacrimal duct system.

Patients and methods: Dacryocystography and postdacryocystographic spiral CT were performed in 11 patients with epiphora.

Results: Postdacryocystographic spiral CT results in detailed information about the nasolacrimal duct system. Localization, degree, and aetiology of stenoses can be determined more reliably than with dacryocystography alone.

Conclusion: Postdacryocystographic spiral CT improves planning surgical or radiological interventions such as balloon dacryocystoplasty of the nasolacrimal duct.
