“…There was no significant difference in the laterality of the lesion or the gender of the fetuses between the persistence group and the resolution group. Although a review of the literature showed a predominance of unilateral lesions in neonates [ 1 , 5 , 6 , 14 ], there was no predominance in the prenatal case reviews [ 6 , 8 ], which was also confirmed in our study. The preponderance of females with congenital dacryocystoceles reported in neonates [ 1 , 5 , 6 ] was not seen in the prenatal dacryocystocele cases that we examined.…”

The preponderance of females with congenital dacryocystoceles reported in neonates [ 1 , 5 , 6 ] was not seen in the prenatal dacryocystocele cases that we examined. We also did not observe any difference in the mode of delivery; the assertion that mechanical decompression and the rupture of the valve of Hasner during vaginal delivery might be related to the resolution of the prenatal dacryocystocele [ 15 ] was not consistent with the findings of this study.…”

“…There have been a considerable number of reports on the prenatal diagnosis of congenital dacryocystoceles. However, a majority of prenatally reported cases are isolated case reports or review articles [ 6 - 12 ]. We present our experience in a large series of dacryocystoceles identified by prenatal ultrasonography (US).…”

Purpose:To report the incidence of dacryocystoceles detected by prenatal ultrasonography (US) and their postnatal outcomes and to determine the factors associated with the postnatal persistence of dacryocystoceles at birth.Methods:We retrospectively reviewed the prenatal US database at our institution for the period between January 2012 and December 2013. The medical records of women who had fetuses diagnosed with dacryocystocel larger than 5 mm were reviewed for maternal age, gestational age (GA) at detection, size and side of the dacryocystoceles, delivery, and postnatal information, such as GA at delivery, delivery mode, and gender of the neonate.Results:A total of 49 singletons were diagnosed with a dacryocystocele on prenatal US, yielding an overall incidence of 0.43%. The incidence of dacryocystoceles was the highest at the GA of 27 weeks and decreased toward term. Of the 49 fetuses including three of undeter mined gender, 25 (54%) were female. The mean GA at first detection was 31.2 weeks. The dacryocystocele was unilateral in 29 cases, with a mean maximum diameter of 7 mm. Spontaneous resolution at birth was documented in 35 out of 46 neonates (76%), including six with prenatal resolution. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that GA at delivery was a significant predictor of the postnatal persistence of dacryocystoceles (P=0.045).Conclusion:The overall incidence of prenatal dacryocystoceles was 0.43%; the incidence was higher in the early third trimester and decreased thereafter. Prenatal dacryocystoceles resolved in 76% of the patients at birth, and the GA at delivery was a significant predictor of postnatal persistence.

“…It is a benign lesion that typically resolves spontaneously in utero or in the early neonatal period,2 3 as in this case. Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive method used to reliably distinguish dacryocystocoeles from other pathological conditions, such as haemangioma, dermoid cyst and nasal glioma 1 2.…”

“…Prenatal diagnosis is usually made by USG and additional imaging technique such as magnetic resonance is not needed. Dacryocystocele is observed in USG examination as a hypoechoic cystic mass without vascular flow or calcification 6 . The dimension of the lesions is usually betweeen 8-11mm 7 .…”

Dacryocystocele is a rare benign cystic formation seen in the lacrimal sac as a result of obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct. This lesion may coexist with additional anomalies. Most cases resolve spontaneously in the late intrauterine or early neonatal periods. They are usually unilateral and more common in female fetuses. In the literature, a very limited numbers of prenatal dacryocystocele cases have been reported. We presented a case of unilateral dacryocystocele accompanied by polyhydramnios in a male fetus which was diagnosed with obstetric ultrasonography at 29 weeks of gestation.
