Abstract

To evaluate the efficacy of Mitomycin-C during lacrimal probing for ADULTs with blocked nasolacrimal duct, this prospective, non-comparative, interventional case series was conducted on 19 eyes of 16 patients from October 2001 to November 2004 with epiphora caused by nasolacrimal duct obstruction. The probing was not successful in 2 of the eyes due to proximal bony obstruction of nasolacrimal duct, so data of 17 eyes of 16 patients were analyzed. Ten (71.5%) of the patients were female and 4 (28.5%) male. Mean age and standard deviation of age, duration of epiphora before operation and follow-up period were 42.1±17.4 years, 2.04±1.03 years and 13.8±8.3 months, respectively. Bilateral involvement was seen in 3 of the patients. In 6 (35.2%) eyes second probing with adjunctive Mitomycin-C was done and only in one of them (16.6%) relative success resulted. In 4 (23.5%) patients immediately after probing hemorrhage from punctum occurred and stopped spontaneously. No, mild, moderate and severe watering were seen at the final visit in 4 (23.6%), 2(11.7%), 3(17.7%) and 8(47%) eyes, respectively. Overall in 4 (23.6%) eyes watering was completely absent and in 9 (53%) eyes watering decreased. Dacryocystitis occurred in 1 (5.8%) eye after operation and 5 (29.5%) of them underwent dacryocystrohinostomy owing to sever ephiohora unresponsive to probing with adjunctive Mitomycin-C. Conclusion: Complete success after probing with adjunctive Mitomycin-C is not high, but this procedure is simple, safe and doesn’t need especial equipment. So it can be considered as an alternative operation in the patient for whom dacryocystorhinostomy cannot be done.
