[Diagnosis and treatment of tearing in infancy].
Tearing in infancy is a very frequent symptom, particularly during the first year of life. A definite diagnosis can be made easily, only by questioning the parents about the characteristics and the evolution of the tearing since the birth and with a simple examination. The main causes are congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction account of his high frequency in infant and congenital glaucoma account of his seriousness.
