Lacrimal tube repositioning: technique and ultrasonic assessment.
A section of migrated lacrimal silicone tubing was repositioned in a 7-year-old patient by dilating the lacrimal passage with hyaluronate solution and pushing the tube back into the nasal fossa with a probe. The position of the tube was postoperatively confirmed by ultrasonographic studies.
