Fluorescein dye test (Jones I and II) or
dacryocystography are no longer performed routinely.
Canaliculitis is a condition that can easily be diagnosed with a careful clinical examination, without the need for detailed examinations like
dacryocystography.
Various studies employed
dacryocystography and computed tomography (CT ) scan imaging.
Failed endoscopic DCR patients underwent
dacryocystography post-operatively which showed blockage of neo-ostium.
3 The
dacryocystography is a simple, safe and standardized diagnostic procedure which, easily and accurately defines these obstructions and is less time consuming and less annoying to the patients with practically no complications.
The workup included
dacryocystography, an ophthalmologic consultation, and three-dimensional computed tomography (CT).
Dacryocystography is also helpful in the diagnosis of diverticula, fistulae and filling defects caused by stones or tumours.
Imaging with
dacryocystography or dacryoscintigraphy may provide further information for diagnosis and management.
The foreign body was detected on
dacryocystography and removed during dacryocystorhinostomy.
The objective evaluation postoperatively can be made by various methods including
dacryocystography, but in our study we used symptomatic and endoscopic assessment in all patients to measure outcome.
Dacryocystography was performed in selected patients if needed.
Diagnosis was done on the basis of clinical examination like regurgitation test and syringing and sometimes
dacryocystography was done.
