Background: Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction is inflammation of lacrimal sac due to nasolacrimal duct obstruction in children. Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction is a common disorder in infants, with up to 20% of all newborns suffering from epiphora during the first year of life. The purpose of this study is examining the various risk factors in patients of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Method: In this study, 121 patients were examined in L.N. Medical College and J.K Hospital, Kolar Road, Bhopal between June to July to August 2015.A clinical examination was being conducted in the children below age of 3 years after the history taking started by torch light examination, slit lamp examination, and the regurgitation test was being done. All the other conditions which presented like complaints of congenital Dacryocystitis like-Opthalmia Neonatorum, Congenital Glaucoma, allergic conjunctivitis, trauma to eye were being ruled out. Mothers of the children were asked to fill the Questionnaire about risk factor of Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction. The awareness about the disease in the mothers via the above questionnaire whether the mothers were familiar with the disease or not was asked. Results: 121 patients were seen over the period under review out of which 60% were males. Most common age at the presentation was between 0 to 2 months. 2 significant risk factors were observed, Prematurity and Poor hygienic status in this study. Conclusion: Current study done to find association of various risk factors. A further study is needed in this field to find any other risk factors responsible for the high incidence of congenital Dacryocystitis and all the mothers need to be educated regarding these risk factors, and awareness should be created in the mothers.

“…Similar results were also reported by many other authors [8][9][10][11][12]. The reason attributing for this can be the difference in anatomical and developmental factors of the lacrimal drainage system in male and female [8][9][10][11][12][13]. In current study unilateral involvement (72%) was more than bilateral involvement (27%) and right eye involvement (56%) was more than left eye (31%).…”

“…In current study unilateral involvement (72%) was more than bilateral involvement (27%) and right eye involvement (56%) was more than left eye (31%). Several other studies have they all found unilateral involvement was more than bilateral involvement [8][9][10][11]. In the present study right eye was more frequently involved.…”

Aim:To assess the clinical and epidemiological profile of congenital dacryocystis and its treatment outcome. Material and Methods: A prospective study was conducted for duration of two years, cases with congenital dacryocystitis of age less than 5 years were included. A detailed history was taken giving emphasis to epiphora onset, duration, treatment and resolution. Ocular examination was done along with regurgitation on pressure over lacrimal sac test. The plan for the management was standard stepwise approach according to age groups and clinical condition of the cases. The conservative treatment included sac massage and surgical procedure were probing and syringing and endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy. Follow-up was done for 6 months and final clinical assessment was done to assess the success of procedure. Results: Total 65 eyes of 51 cases were included in the study. Mean age of presentation was-14.6 ± 2.3 months with 52.9% females. Unilateral involvement was more common. Epiphora was most common complaint with 63% ROPLAS positive. The success rate of sac massage was 81% and the overall success rate for treatment of congenital dacryocystitis was 96%. Conclusion: Congenital dacryocystitis is a common pediatric problem. Treatment of congenital dacryocystitis should be started as early as possible and in stepwise manner initially conservative than surgical.
