[Dacryocystitis as a complication of maxillofacial fracture repair with reconstruction].
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study is a revision of a case of darcyocystitis as a result of dislocation of cartilaginous implant after maxillofacial fracture repair. The author discussed the operative technique of this case.


METHODS
A woman treated after fracture of ethmoid and nasal bone because of a diplopia of the left eye. The external reposition of bones were done with replacement of the orbital content to the orbit and occlusion of the bony defect with cartilaginous implant. After the operation dadryocystitis occurred as a complication of the reposition witch was treated with endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy with nasolacrimal system intubation.


CONCLUSIONS
Dacryocystitis as a acute or delayed complication of maxillofacial fracture repair could be a result of a scar formation or dislocation of the implant. The reasonable method of treatment in this case is endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy with nasolacrimal system intubation for 6 months.
