Dacryocystographic examination does not identify early seventh nerve failure in leprosy patients.
Dacryocystographic examination was performed in two groups of patients: patients having leprosy and those not having leprosy, in order to look for early failure of the facial nerve. The results of this study show that this kind of examination does not improve diagnosis of leprosy.
