Abstract

Dacryocystitis is defined as inflammation of lacrimal sac. This can be congenital or acquired. Congenital dacryocystitis is commonly chronic while acquired dacryocystitis is acute and chronic both. Endonasal DCR surgery is the most commonly used treatment in chronic DCR but recent use of cautery technique in endonasal DCR surgery rather than traditional surgical blade technique has emerged with promising results with good success rate and fewer complications.
