Objective: The aim of this study is to
evaluate endoscopic and paranasal computed tomography (PNCT) findings in
cases of failed dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR).
Methods: This
study included 30 cases of failed DCR (18 females, 12 males; mean age:
49.9±18.9 years) and 30 successful DCR patients (20 females, 9 males;
mean age: 56.3±15.9 years). The reasons for the recurrence of the
disease were evaluated using preoperative endoscopic examination and
PNCT findings.
Results:
Endoscopic pathology was identified in 24 out of 30 failed cases (80%),
while endoscopic pathology was identified in 12 out of 30 successful
cases (40%) (p<0.05). PNCT revealed nasal pathology in 24 out of 30
failed cases (80%), and in 15 out of 30 successful cases (50%)
(p<0.05).
Conclusion:
Endonasal and sinonasal pathologies may be associated with DCR failure.
Before the commencement of revision DCR, endoscopic examination and PNCT
may provide valuable information regarding the underlying etiology.
