| Popis: | Dacryocystorhinostomy was performed on two patients with Wegener's granulomatosis that had been quiescent for many years. Excellent results were attained, with elimination of dacryocystitis, complete relief from epiphora, and maintenance of a patent outflow tract. No wound necrosis occurred postoperatively, in contrast to a previous report in the literature. Our experience suggests that nasolacrimal duct obstruction in the setting of quiescent Wegener's granulomatosis can be treated safely and effectively with dacryocystorhinostomy. |
