Tearing and conjunctivitis in children are commonly due to lacrimal drainage system obstruction. Congenital nasolacrimal obstruction is a common pathology treated by probing with or without silicone stent insertion, depending upon the age of the child. The silicone stent is self-retaining and placed for at least one month. MasterkaThe medical records of two patients surgically treated with the MasterkaThe frequency self-retaining stent disappearance is estimated at 15%. Among these cases, intralacrimal migration is only reported in 0.5% of cases. To prevent intralacrimal migration, the surgical technique must follow a certain number of rules. Management, based on residual epiphora, is discussed.Prevention of intralacrimal migration of self-retaining stents involves a rigorous analysis of the relationship between the meatus and the fixation head at the time of placement. After lacrimal intubation, scheduled monitoring is necessary to screen for stent disappearance. Management is based on clinical findings, anterior rhinoscopy and even exploratory canaliculotomy. |
