| Abstrakt: | Complex congenital lacrimal drainage anomalies are known to be associated with several syndromes and present unique surgical challenges. Duplication of human body structures is uncommon and has been reported in the uterus (uterine didelphys), ureter (duplex ureter), duodenum, transverse colon, and nose. Lacrimal drainage anomalies have been reported in proboscis lateralis. To the best of the authors' knowledge, there are no prior reports on duplication of the lacrimal sac. The present case reports a complex congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction that was associated with duplication of the lacrimal sac and the presence of 3 canaliculi. Competing Interests: M.J.A. receives royalties from Springer for the textbook “Principles and Practice of Lacrimal Surgery” and for the treatise “Atlas of Lacrimal Drainage Disorders.” Other authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose.
