The neonate is an obligate nasal breather and any form of nasal obstruction causes respiratory distress during feeding and sleeping. We report two patients with unusual causes of respiratory distress secondary to nasolacrimal duct cysts. The failure of the lacrimal duct to perforate at the distal end results in dacryocystitis and cyst formation. Removal of the nasal wall of the cyst resolves the obstruction and the dacryocystitis. The nasolacrimal duct cyst is an unusual, but readily treated, cause of neonatal respiratory distress.
新生儿是必须经鼻呼吸的，任何形式的鼻阻塞都会在喂奶和睡觉时引起呼吸窘迫。我们报告了两例因鼻泪管囊肿继发呼吸窘迫的不寻常病例。泪管在远端未能穿孔导致泪囊炎和囊肿形成。切除囊肿的鼻壁可解除阻塞并治愈泪囊炎。鼻泪管囊肿是新生儿呼吸窘迫的一个不常见但易于治疗的病因。
