Lacrimal disease.
The lacrimal gland has been investigated by a number of authors with specific interest in the relationship between keratitis sicca and systemic disease. Neoplastic involvement of the lacrimal gland and lacrimal sac have drawn the attention of others. Imaging of the lacrimal drainage system by ultrasonography, computerized axial tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging has been reviewed. Finally, surgical approaches to dacryocystorhinostomy and attendant complications have been studied.
