title: Nasolacrimal disorders and their treatment.
abstract: Dysfunction of the excretory part of the nasolacrimal system may be congenital in otherwise normal infants or associated with congenital facial anomalies. It may also occur as a result of soft-tissue trauma to the face and naso-orbital fractures. Dacryocystorhinostomy and conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy are discussed as treatment techniques.
