Popis: Inflammation in the nasal mucosa may lead to epiphora by causing edema around the orifice of the nasolacrimal duct. We present and discuss three cases where simple treatment of rhinitis led to the resolution of the presenting symptom of epiphora, avoiding the need for surgery. A randomized prospective trial of topical nasal corticosteroids in the management of epiphora associated with rhinitis is in progress.
