Surgical Treatment of Recurrent Dacryocystitis Secondary to Cystic Dilatation of the Nasolacrimal Duct in a Dog

From the Department of Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Montreal, 3200 rue Sicotte, St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, Canada J2S 7C6.

A 3-year-old, castrated male golden retriever was presented for evaluation of recurrent ocular discharge of 4 months’ duration from the left eye. Dacryocystorhinography was performed and demarcated a cystic dilatation of the left nasolacrimal duct with obstruction of the duct distal to the cystic cavity. Surgical exploration of the left maxillary sinus was performed to confirm the diagnosis and reestablish drainage into the nasal cavity. Recovery was uneventful, and the dog has been asymptomatic for >36 months postoperatively. This report documents the third published case of surgical treatment for cystic dilatation of the nasolacrimal duct.
