An uncommon complication of septorhinoplasty, acute dacryocystitis.
During septorhinoplasty procedures lacrimal drainage systems are susceptible to injury because of the close relationship of the nasal bones. Most of the injuries to the system remain asymptomatic. Here we report a case of septorhinoplasty which was complicated by acute dacryocystitis postoperatively. The patient was treated successfully with appropriate medical therapy.
