Abstract. Purpose:To report a case of nasolacrimal duct obstruction due to ethmoidal sinus cyst secondary to paranasal surgery. Case:A 49-year-old man presented with epiphora in his left eye since 3 months before. An elastic-soft painless tumor was present in the left nasolacrimal sac area. Computed tomography(CT)showed a mass of 2cm in diameter displacing the eyeglobe superior-temporally. The finding was suggestive of orbital abscess. Puncture of the tumor resulted in drainage of pus-like fluid. The tumor recurred 2 months later. By further questioning, he had a history of paranasal surgery 35 years before. Rhinologic studies showed an ethmoidal cyst. Endoscopic surgery induced permanent cure with patent nasolacrimal duct. Conclusion:This case illustrates that obstruction of nasolacrimal duct may result from ethmoidal sinus cyst as a late complication of paranasal surgery.
