Dacryocystocele and Subsequent Dacryocystectomy in a Patient With Bosma Arhinia Microphthalmia Syndrome (BAMS): A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Abstract

Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome (BAMS) is a rare syndrome consisting of several craniofacial abnormalities, including congenital arhinia. In this case report, the authors present the first case of a patient with BAMS and dacryocystocele who successfully underwent dacryocystectomy. Dacryocystectomy may serve as a viable surgical approach for dacryocystocele in patients with abnormal nasal anatomy. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2024;61(3):e16-e18.].
