[Acute post-rhinoplasty dacryocystitis. Apropos of a case].
Lacrimal ducts are exposed to surgical wounds during cosmetic surgery of the nose because of the anatomic situation. Beside minor and transitory injuries exist major injuries needing a surgical solution. The authors report a case of an acute dacryocystitis after an aesthetic rhinoplasty. After reviewing the literature and studying the possible traumatic mechanisms, the authors propose to treat the lacrymal injury by a bicanaliculonasal intubation before than performing a dacryocystorhinostomy.
