Objectives To create a replacement nasolacrimal system, using the puncta and canaliculi, with prolonged implant retention and minimal use of Elizabethan collars or other restraint devices. Materials and Methods The method was used in 11 dogs and two cats. Silicone tubing was placed through both canaliculi and, via a drill hole, into the nasal cavity. Distally, the tubing ends were tied in a subcutaneous pocket lateral to the premaxilla. Tubing retention time was 4 to 7 months. Elizabethan collars were used only until skin suture removal at 2 weeks. Results In all animals, a functional nasolacrimal system was re‐created and remained patent over prolonged follow‐up periods. Adverse effects and complications were mild. Clinical significance The described method is relatively straightforward, thereby making relief of tear outflow problems widely accessible.

“…Epiphora or tear overflow is the most common clinical feature of impaired lacrimal drainage and can cause periocular dermatitis and discomfort 1,25 . Epiphora in the dog can result from a congenital defect such as atresia, reduced size or malposition of the puncta and/or nasolacrimal duct 2,5,26 .…”

A 4-year-old, female, spayed, Labrador retriever was presented with a painless swelling of the left ventromedial eyelid and epiphora of 3 months duration. Bilateral patency of the nasolacrimal system was confirmed by the appearance of fluorescein dye at both nares. Ultrasonography revealed a well-demarcated fluid-filled structure containing echogenic ill-defined material in close proximity to the nasolacrimal system. A transconjunctival surgical approach confirmed the close anatomical proximity of the cyst and the absence of a communication with the inferior canaliculus. The cyst contained multiple intraluminal calculi (dacryoliths). Following surgical excision of the cyst, the epiphora resolved and no recurrence was noted over a 12-month follow-up period. On histopathology, the cystic structure was lined by stratified squamous epithelium, consistent with lacrimal canaliculus epithelium. Presumed progression of a canalicular diverticulum to a cyst with the formation of intraluminal dacryoliths was suspected. Mineral analysis of the dacryoliths revealed a calcium carbonate composition.
