Dacryocystitis of Infancy

Treatment of Neonatal Conjunctivitis

“…In the present study, all patients with C trachomatis conjunctivitis were clinically and microbiologically cured when treated with 25 mg/kg of oral erythromycin ethylsuccinate ev¬ ery 12 hours for 14 All infants with chlamydial con¬ junctivitis who were treated with top¬ ical chloramphenicol failed clinically and microbiologically. Failure to eradicate neonatal chlamydial con¬ junctivitis with topical antibiotics has been reported by others.8 In the present study, C trachomatis infection in the nasopharynx was eradicated with oral erythromycin.…”

Endoscopic-assisted probing for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction

“…1,2 This is an obstructive membrane at Hasner's valve, which opens spontaneously in approximately 95% of cases by 1 year of age. 3,6,[7][8][9][10] Surgical treatment for CNLDO is probing of the nasolacrimal duct. Timing of this intervention has long been the subject of discussion.…”

Comparative Analysis of Silicone Tube Intubation Versus Probing and Balloon Dilation for Congenital Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…A conical punctum dilator facilitates lacrimal cannula insertion for saline irrigation. 5 Intubation is another invasive technique that involves probing the nasolacrimal duct (NLD) and then inserting a silicone tube stent in one (monocanalicular) or both (bicanalicular) canaliculi. 6 Balloon catheter dilation is performed under general anesthesia with punctual dilation.…”
