涙石は涙道閉塞の原因になる。涙道手術の自験例179例のうち,9例で涙石が確認できた。すべて片側性で,男性4例,女性5例であり,年齢は33~85歳,平均64歳であった。涙石の存在部位は,涙小管と総涙小管が5例,涙囊が1例,鼻涙管が3例であった。治療では涙石の完全除去を目的とし,涙小管部の圧迫・洗浄・吸引,涙小管内のそう破,DCR鼻外法,DCR下鼻道法を単独または組み合わせて行い,全例で治癒することができた。また,涙道内視鏡と鼻内視鏡を活用して涙石を完全に除去することでNST挿入術が有効になる。
Dacryoliths may induce obstruction of the lacrimal passage. During lacrimal surgery on 179 cases,dacryolith was detected in 9 cases. All the 9 cases were unilaterally affected. The series comprised 4 males and 5 females. Their age ranged from 33 to 85 years,average 64 years. Dacryolith was located in the canaliculi or common canaliculus in 5 cases,in the lacrimal sac in one,and in the nasolacrimal duct in 3 cases. All the cases could be cured by surgical removal of dacryolith either by compression,irrigation/aspiration or curettage of canaliculus,external dacryocystorhinostomy(DCR),or laser DCR via the inferior nasal meatus. Complete removal of dacryoliths using dacryoendoscope or nasal endoscope may facilitate insertion of nunchaku-style silicone tube(NST).
