Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) is a common condition causing excessive tearing or mucoid discharge from the eyes, due to blockage of the nasolacrimal duct system. Nasolacrimal duct obstruction affects as many as 20% children aged <1 year worldwide and is often resolved without surgery.

What is acquired stenosis of right nasolacrimal duct?

The nasolacrimal duct is a channel that allows tears to drain from the external eye to the nasal cavity. A nasolacrimal duct obstruction is an acquired or congenital obstruction of the drainage system resulting in epiphora or excessive tearing.

Where is the nasolacrimal duct?

The nasolacrimal duct (also called the tear duct) carries tears from the lacrimal sac of the eye into the nasal cavity. The duct begins in the eye socket between the maxillary and lacrimal bones, from where it passes downwards and backwards.

When do you refer for nasolacrimal duct obstruction?

Neonates with an acutely sticky eye and severe amounts of discharge should be referred to the emergency department to exclude ophthalmia neonatorum. IMMEDIATE REFERRAL is indicated. Persistence of nasolacrimal duct obstruction with chronic tearing and discharge beyond 12 months of age – non-urgent referral.

What is the difference between a blocked tear duct and pink eye?

Small, rounded growths called polyps form in the nose and block the duct. An infection in the eye or nose causes swelling around the tear duct. Conjunctivitis (pinkeye), an infection of the conjunctiva, the clear membrane that covers the eye, is one common infection that can cause blocked tear ducts.

What is punctal stenosis?

Punctal stenosis is clinically defined as a punctum caliber restricting tear drainage in the absence of distal tear drainage abnormalities, namely canalicular obstruction or nasolacrimal duct obstruction.

How do you treat a blocked tear duct in a baby?

The most common treatment is gently milking or massaging the tear duct 2 to 3 times per day. In some cases, the tear duct needs to be opened using a probe. In more severe cases, your child may need surgery. Most blocked tear ducts heal on their own.

What causes a blocked tear duct in babies?

A blocked tear duct usually happens when the membrane inside the lower end of the tear duct, near the nose, is slow to open after a baby is born. This creates a blockage. Although the blockage is usually present from birth, it might not be obvious until your baby is around one month old. Blocked tear ducts are common.
