Resumen
FLEITMAN BRODER, Carlos y FLEITMAN CHAZAN, Jacobo. Epiphora due to a supernumerary lacrimal punctum treated with lacrimal plugs. Case presentation and literature review. Cir. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.88, suppl.1, pp.28-30. Epub 08-Feb-2022. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.19001305.
Background:
Supernumerary lacrimal punctum is a rare malformation of the lacrimal apparatus with a highly variable anatomical presentation. In many cases this can be symptomatic and cause tearing.
Case presentation:
The case of a 45 year old male with a supernumerary lacrimal punctum and tearing without any other associated lacrimal system anomaly treated successfully with lacrimal plugs.
Conclusions:
Lacrimal plugs can be used as an alternative treatment in selected cases of symptomatic supernumerary lacrimal punctum with epiphora.
