Abstract

Introduction: NASOLACRIMAL DUCT OBSTRUCTION (N.L.D.O) is a bothersome and troublesome ocular disorder in ophthalmology. Considering the etiology, researchers have divided the disorder in two types: primary N.L.D.O (PANDO) and secondary N.L.D.O obstruction, the subject that has not been considered significant and noticeable in many studies. Material & Methods: We have selected 50 were patients randomly selected from 6750 patients, referred to Shaheed Mustafa Khomeini Hospital due to these general ophthalmic problems within recent 2-5 years with unilateral or bilateral N.L.D obstruction as a case group. 50 persons without N.L.D obstruction from patients' families were selected based on age sex and residency as a control group. After completion of consent letters, gathering questionnaire forms and ocular and nasal clinical examination we compared the two groups for nasal obstructive disorder such as: SEPTAL DEVIATION, trubinate hypertrophy, sinusitis, polyps, tumors, allergic conditions and other deformities. Results: In comparison with control group SEPTAL DEVIATION and the side of deviation were the most important factors in N.L.D obstruction (p=0.00), and the second important factor was turbinate hypertrophy (p=0.01). CHRONIC SINUSITIS plays an important role especially in unilateral forms of N.L.D obstruction. It is necessary to evaluate other etiological factors in a larger sample to confirm their effects. Finally, 84 percent of the cases had at least one of the above - mentioned pathologies in nose contrary to 40 percent in control group (p<0.05) and 60 percent of cases had more than one obstruction pathology as compared with 20 percent in control group (p <0.05). Conclusion: SEPTAL DEVIATION, trubinate hypertrophy, tumor and other obstructive diseases in nasal cavity have important effect on NASOLACRIMAL DUCT OBSTRUCTION so, before any surgery for N.L.D obstruction E.N.T consultation is recommended.
