Abstract:

 Aim: We aimed to investigate the effective factors to increase treatment options in patients with congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction LDO. Materyal and Methods: Our study was planned retrospectively. The patients admitted to Erzurum Regional Training and Research Hospital Family Medicine Outpatient Clinic with symptoms such as watering, burring, swelling in the sac area, chronic conjunctivitis  In 200 children under 4 years of age, information on maternal age, mode of conception, gender, birth weight, mode of delivery, presence of multiple pregnancies, sibling history, duration of hospitalization, need for invasive mechanical ventilation, maternal pre-eclampsia, gestational DM, and bilateral or unilateral occlusion, need for surgery, number of surgeries, presence of anisometropia, when epiphora started and when it ended were collected and evaluated. Results: Of the children included in the study, 52 n103 were male and 48 n95 were female. It was shown that complaints such as watering, redness, and burring due to congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction mostly started in the first weeks 7.1, and most of these complaints were relieved by massaging the sac area and topical drops 90.3 without surgical intervention. There were no significant statistical differences between children with and without congenital epiphora in terms of gender, multiple pregnancies, mode of delivery, delivery week, need for postnatal intensive care, mothers mode of conception, maternal age and chronic diseases p0.05. Significant differences were found in birth weight and the presence of positive sibling history p0.05. Conclusion: This study was conducted to evaluate the association of congenital epiphora with possible antenatal and perinatal risk factors. It was concluded that low birth weight and positive sibling history may be involved in the etiopathogenesis of epiphora, but it was concluded that studies on this subject should be conducted by reaching large populations.
