Abstract

Purpose: To determine the frequency of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) in premature newborns and its correlation with gestational age (GA), sex, family history and chronological age.Methods: This study was performed on infants who were referred for retinopathy of prematurity from 2002 to 2003. Cases of CNLDO were visited again three and six months later. Results: This study was conducted on 60 preterm infants (26 male, 34 female) with gestational age of 33.2±1.3 weeks (range 25-36) and age of 3.8±0.9 months (range 1.5-6) at first presentation, of which 13 had CNLDO (9 unilateral and 4 bilateral). Overall, 17 out of 120 ducts (14.1%) were obstructed. There was no correlation between CNLDO and sex, family history or gestational age. Three months later 58.4% of the obstructions were cleared and at the 6 month visit, 25% of residual obstructions were cleared, such that the total remission rate at 6 months was 83.4%. Conclusion: In premature newborns with CNLDO, the rate of spontaneous clearing of the obstruction is greater than 80% during the first 6 months.
