Prenatal diagnosis of unilateral dacryocystocele: A rare case report
Abstract
Dacryocystocele is a rare benign cystic formation seen in the lacrimal sac as a result of obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct. This lesion may coexist with additional anomalies. Most cases resolve spontaneously in the late intrauterine or early neonatal periods. They are usually unilateral and more common in female fetuses. In the literature, a very limited numbers of prenatal dacryocystocele cases have been reported. We presented a case of unilateral dacryocystocele accompanied by polyhydramnios in a male fetus which was diagnosed with obstetric ultrasonography at 29 weeks of gestation.
