Objective: To describe canaliculosinostomy performed to resolve epiphora caused by nasolacrimal duct obstruction and to report the outcome of horses undergoing this procedure. Study Design: Case series. Animals: Seven horses with uni- or bilateral nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Methods: The ventral ...

Case description: A yearling Thoroughbred stallion and an 8-year-old Saddlebred mare were evaluated for persistent mucoid ocular discharge. Clinical findings: Examination of both horses revealed copious yellow-tan mucoid ocular discharge with a negative Jones I test, absent nasal punctum, and...

Objective: To describe a technique of canaliculosinostomy into the caudal maxillary sinus to alleviate epiphora secondary to nasolacrimal duct obstruction and to report the long-term outcome in 5 horses. Study Design: Case series. Animals: Five client-owned horses. Methods: Case records of all ...

A definitive diagnosis of extensive suture line exostoses affecting the nasofrontal, nasolacrimal, nasomaxillary, frontolacrimal, lacrimozygomatic and lacrimomaxillary suture lines in a 7-year-old Thoroughbred mare with chronic bilateral epiphora and facial deformation was achieved using standing...

CASE HISTORY: Three horses were presented with facial swelling and epiphora. CLINICAL FINDINGS: All horses had facial swellings and radiographic findings consistent with exostosis at the lacrimomaxillary suture, and ipsilateral epiphora. Positive contrast dacryocystorhinography demonstrated that...

Purpose: To provide a systematic review of the literature on the disorders and management of the lacrimal drainage system (LDS) in few of the species of the animal kingdom. Methods: The authors performed a PubMed search of all articles that were published in English with specific reference to...

Dacryocystography has been widely used in the assessment of the nasolacrimal duct system, particularly in patients with epiphora. The site of obstruction and presence of fistulas, tumor, diverticula, or calculi can be delineated, so that therapy can be accurately planned. The oil-soluble agent...

Dacryocystography has been widely used in the assessment of the nasolacrimal duct system, particularly in patients with epiphora. The site of obstruction and presence of fistulas, tumor, diverticula, or calculi can be delineated so that therapy can be accurately planned. The water-soluble agent...

The technique for the outlining of the nasolacrimal duct under lignocaine hydrochloride anaesthesia is described in donkey, buffalo, sheep, goat and dog. Sodium iothalamate was introduced into the lacrimal duct through puncta lacrimalis by means of a polyethylene catheter or bevelled needle. The...
