title: [Diagnostic significance of the study of lacrimal secretion in otorhinolaryngology].
abstract: As shown by Schirmer's test of lacrimal secretion in 110 patients with peripheral paralysis of the facial nerve and in 35 patients with chronic polypous sinusitis subjected to vidiotomy, lacrimal secretion in both groups patients underwent marked changes. After dissection of the Vidian nerve a persistent decline in lacrimal secretion was universal, though preoperative tests in the peripheral paralysis patients displayed hyposecretion in 28 and hypersecretion in the rest cases. Nasolacrimal reflex investigation is recommended in obscure results of the Schirmer's test.
