dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnosis and treatment of punctal apposition syndrome. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 2 patients diagnosed with punctal apposition syndrome who underwent lateral tarsal strip procedure. The patients included 1 male and 1 female, with an average age of 76.5 years. Before surgery, both patients had epiphora symptoms with a Munk score of 4 in both eyes. in the primary gaze, it was noted that the upper and lower puncta were appose with each other in both eyes throughout the blinking cycle. On slit lamp examination, there were no keratoconjunctival diseases, and the shape of the puncta were normal. On fluorescein dye disappearance test, grade 3 findings were observed in both eyes of both patients. in dacryos-cintigraphy of the 2 patients, both eyes showed complete obstruction, However, no obstruction of the lacrimal duct system was found in probing and syringing tests. The patient's subjective symptoms improved after patching test. A lateral tarsal strip procedure was performed as a treatment and we obtain satisfactory results. Therefore, punctal apposition syndrome could be 1 of the causes of epiphora. | - |
