Abstract

A 75-year-old lady was referred with an 8-month history of a swelling on the lateral wall of her nose, close to her medial canthus. The swelling was fluctuating in size, with mild tenderness and discomfort in the previous 6 months. The patient reported a history of previous infection in the area, which was treated successfully with a course of oral antibiotics. The diagnosis of a nasolacrimal cyst, which caused the previous episode of dacryocystitis, was confirmed by CT and MRI scans. The current episode was treated with antibiotics and the case revisited a few weeks later for definitive treatment, in the form of endoscopic marsupialisation. The patient is still under follow up, without any recurrence.
