Symptoms of lacrimal canaliculus rupture
The lacrimal canaliculus is the pipe connecting the eyes and the nasal cavity, which is responsible for the drainage of tears in the eyes. When the lacrimal canaliculus breaks, tears cannot be discharged from the nasal cavity normally, causing excessive tears, or even tears overflow. The main symptoms of lacrimal canaliculus rupture include:
1. Tearful: Patients often feel that their eyes shed tears frequently, even if they are not crying or feeling sad.
2. Tear eye response: When the lacrimal canaliculus breaks, the tears cannot flow into the nasal cavity smoothly, and the eyes will have a foreign body feeling, causing eye pain.
3. Eye redness and swelling: too many tears cannot flow out normally, which will lead to edema, congestion and redness of the tissues around the eyes.
For these symptoms, if they persist or seriously affect the quality of life of the patient, it is necessary to seek medical advice in time to find out whether there is a tear in the lacrimal canaliculus for further treatment.
Diagnostic method of lacrimal canaliculus rupture
For patients suspected of lacrimal canaliculus rupture, doctors usually carry out detailed eye examination and nasal endoscopy according to their symptoms and medical history. Eye examination can judge whether there is breakage by observing the discharge of tears and checking the patency of lacrimal tubules.
Nasal endoscopy is to observe the lacrimal canaliculus by inserting a thin mirror into the nasal cavity. This examination is a non-invasive method, which can more accurately determine whether the lacrimal canaliculus is broken.
If the diagnosis confirms the existence of lacrimal canaliculus rupture, the patient should go to the regular hospital for treatment in a timely manner, and carry out further inspection according to the doctor's advice to clarify the cause and determine the surgical plan.
Treatment of lacrimal canaliculus rupture
At present, surgical repair is often used for the treatment of lacrimal canaliculus rupture, and the common treatment methods include:
1. Surgical operation: surgical operation is the main way to treat lacrimal canaliculus fractures, and restore its patency by reconnecting the broken parts. Surgery is usually divided into endoscopic surgery and traditional surgery, and the specific surgical method depends on the patient's situation.
2. Endoscopic treatment: Endoscopic treatment is a minimally invasive surgical method. The operation is conducted under the guidance of nasal endoscope, which reduces the damage to the nasal cavity and eyes, and recovers quickly after surgery.
3. Traditional surgery: The traditional surgery is to repair the broken lacrimal canaliculus by cutting the eyelid or nasal cavity. The traditional operation has a high success rate and effect, but the postoperative recovery is slow.
According to the specific situation of the patient and the doctor's suggestions, select the appropriate surgical method for treatment to achieve the best therapeutic effect.
