Prenatal diagnosis and outcome of congenital dacryocystoceles

Original language description

Objective: To determine the incidence and present our experience with prenatal diagnosis and postnatal outcome of dacryocystocele. Material and methods: All cases of congenital dacryocystocele diagnosed in our center between 2020 and 2022 were identified in our database to establish the incidence of these defects. The medical records were then reviewed for gestational age, gender, size, and side of dacryocystocele and postnatal outcome. Results: A total of 26 cases with dacryocystoceles were found at a mean gestation age of 30 weeks (range, 29-33 weeks). The overall incidence was 1.35%, there was an obvious female predominance (73%), 69% of cases were unilateral and 31% were bilateral. There were no serious associated anomalies. The postnatal outcome was obtained in 88% of cases (23/26), in 39% (9 out of 23) cases the dacryocystocele was confirmed postnatally, and in 7 (77%) of these it was complicated by dacryocystitis. The spontaneous resolution was more likely in the right-sided lesions, and this was statistically significant. The treatment in cases with dacryocystitis involved massage and local antibiotics and was successful in 71% of cases. 2 cases (29%) suffer from recurrent dacryocystitis and are followed up with recurrent probing and local antibiotics. No breathing difficulties were described postnatally in our study group. Conclusion: The overall prenatal incidence of dacryocystocele was 1.35%. The outcome is favorable, 61% of dacryocystoceles in our study resolved spontaneously and in no case postnatal breathing complications were reported. Dacryocystitis was common in persisting cases but was usually treated successfully by massage and antibiotics. The right-sided dacryocystoceles are more likely to resolve spontaneously than left-sided, and this was the only significant factor predicting persistence.
