Study Design: Case series. Objective: To describe the assessment and surgical approach to dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) for patients with nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) in the presence of orbital wall hardware. Methods: The pre-operative assessment, management and outcomes of two patients with secondary acquired NLDO following medial orbital wall fracture repair treated by nasal endoscopic DCR. Results: Anatomical and functional success was achieved in both cases at 6 weeks post operatively without disruption of the orbital plate. There was persistent success at 1 and 3 years' post-operatively. Conclusions: Endoscopic DCR is a good option for the treatment of NLDO in patients with previous medial orbital wall fracture repair where the location of the plate may complicate the external approach.
