Nasolacrimal duct cyst

Nasolacrimal duct cyst describes a unilateral or bilateral congenital cyst of the nasolacrimal duct, which is almost always associated with dacryocystocele, presenting most commonly at birth or a few weeks of age (but rarely presenting in adulthood) as a benign, grayish blue mass in the inferomedial canthus or in the nasal cavity, that can cause epiphora, dacryocystitis (inflammation of the lacrimal sac) and nasal obstruction. It is more commonly reported in females.

Epiphora

Abnormally increased lacrimation, that is, excessive tearing (watering eye).

Plaza G, Nogueira A, Gonzalez R, Ferrando J, Toledano N.
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. 2009;25(1):52-3.
The authors present 2 familial cases: a 39-year-old woman with bilateral dacryocystocele and lacrimal puncta agenesis and her 46-year-old brother, who had a long history of epiphora and recurrent dacryocystitis, and also had bilateral lacrimal puncta agenesis and a left dacryocystocoele.

Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (in the literature also called congenital nasolacrimal mucocele or dacryocystocele) presents either as a simple nasolacrimal obstruction with epiphora or as a complicated obstruction on both sides of the lacrimal sac with midfacial deformation and respiratory insufficiency.

Four cases of dacryocystocele.
Woo KI, Kim YD.

When cysts in the lacrimal sac area develop subsequent to chronic epiphora or are accompanied by punctal agenesis, differential diagnosis should consider the possibility of dacryocystocele.
