title: [Morphological features of the mucosa of the nasal cavity and lacrimal sac in lacrimal passage obstruction].
abstract: A comprehensive morphological study of the mucosa of the nasal cavity and lacrimal sac was conducted, by using 160 biopsy specimens taken from 44 patients at endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy.
