“…system, performed their operation in adult patients in 1989 and in affected children in 1991 (17,18), and consequent studies were performed by other authors (19)(20)(21)(22). In this study we investigated the efficiency of balloon dacryocystoplasty (BDCP) performed primarily for patients over 3 years of age with congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction and secondarily for cases with unsuccessful probing.…”

This experience shows that balloon dilatation is a safe and effective treatment of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction as a primary procedure in children over 36 months of age and as a secondary procedure after failure of lacrimal system probing. As a result, balloon dacryocystoplasty can be an alternative treatment in older children and can be preferred to silicone intubation and dacryocystorhinostomy performed after unsuccessful probing.

“…Se realizó la inserción anterógrada del balón por ser una vía a la que esta familiarizado el oftalmólo-go ya que es muy similar al sondaje, lo practicamos con control endoscópico por permitirnos una visualización directa que evita trayectos submucosos y la exposición a radiaciones ionizantes como en el caso de inserción retrograda con fluoroscopia (9).…”

“…Esta diferencia puede ser explicada por diferencias en la patogénesis. En los adultos la epífora suele estar causada por etiología de causa adquirida como estenosis involutiva, inflamación e infección crónica siendo por tanto la incidencia de estenosis secundaria alta debido adhesiones y fibrosis de estos tejidos al contrario que en los casos congénitos (9).…”
