A newborn infant with bilateral mucoceles of the lacrimal sacs also had submucosal masses along the floor of the nose beneath the inferior turbinates communicating with the mucoceles. Drainage of the mucoceles was performed by needle aspiration and wide marsupialization of the nasal masses into the nose under direct visualization. To our knowledge, this is the first time that intranasal extension of mucoceles has been reported, and the first time that lacrimal sac mucoceles have been successfully treated via direct nasal drainage. We advocate careful nasal evaluation in cases of congenital lacrimal sac mucoceles to determine whether intranasal extension is common and whether intranasal drainage can be curative.
一名患有双侧泪囊黏液囊肿的新生儿，在下鼻甲下方的鼻底部也有黏膜下肿块，与黏液囊肿相通。通过针吸和在直视下将鼻腔肿块广泛袋形缝合至鼻腔进行黏液囊肿引流。据我们所知，这是首次报道泪囊黏液囊肿向鼻腔内延伸，也是首次通过直接鼻腔引流成功治疗泪囊黏液囊肿。我们主张对先天性泪囊黏液囊肿病例进行仔细的鼻腔评估，以确定鼻腔内延伸是否常见以及鼻腔引流是否可以治愈。
