OBJECTIVE To illustrate the value of digital subtraction dacryocystography in the diagnosis of lacrimal duct obstruction. METHODS Eighty-two normal eyes and 56 eyes with epiphora were investigated with digital subtraction dacryocystography and the dacryocystogram were studied. RESULTS Lacrimal drainage system imaging by the digital subtraction dacryocystography provided reliable and accurate demonstration of lacrimal duct obstruction. CONCLUSIONS Digital subtraction dacryocystography is a rapid, effective and noninvasive imaging technique, and it is helpful in the diagnosis, treatment and study of lacrimal duct obstruction.

D007767 Lacrimal Duct Obstruction Interference with the secretion of tears by the lacrimal glands. Obstruction of the LACRIMAL SAC or NASOLACRIMAL DUCT causing acute or chronic inflammation of the lacrimal sac (DACRYOCYSTITIS). It is caused also in infants by failure of the nasolacrimal duct to open into the inferior meatus and occurs about the third week of life. In adults occlusion may occur spontaneously or after injury or nasal disease.
