Risk Factors and Clinical Outcomes of Secondary Infection in Congenital Dacryocystocele
Concomitant intranasal cyst, a history of lacrimal sac massage, and winter-spring season onset are strong independent predictors of secondary infection in CD. Secondary infection is associated with not only a prolonged treatment course but also a higher probability of invasive intervention. These findings highlight the need for accurate diagnosis and adherence to standardized treatment protocols in infants with CD.
