title: Case report: extravasation of lipiodol--a complication of dacryocystography.
abstract: We describe the occurrence of a significant cosmetic blemish in the cheek of a young girl which was caused by extravasation of 'Lipiodol' from the lacrimal canaliculus. Erythema and swelling lasted for several months before resolving completely. This complication has not been reported in the English literature before.
