Anatomic features of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction: a comparative computed tomography study
All obstructed sides of CNLDO exhibit an increase in NLD width. Besides, in CNLDO with chronic dacryocystitis, LF enlargement can also be observed in obstructed sides, with the anatomic changes more pronounced. We hypothesize that, in addition to elevated hydrostatic pressure, infectious factors are a significant cause of these structural expansions.
