title: [Treatment of obstructions of the lacrimal ducts in infants].
abstract: Retrospective study of 63 cases of lacrimal obstruction in newborns. In 60 cases probing was performed. Fifty-five patients were cured after a single probing and the other five after a second treatment. The author insists on the gravity of congenital dacryostenosis when first observed at older age. He also stresses the necessity of careful probing.
