Abstract
Paediatric dacryocystitis, often linked to congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction, may require surgical intervention if local conservative treatment is ineffective. This case series evaluated a local conservative treatment approach in five infants (1-12 months). Patients received Crigler massages twice daily, a 0.01% hypochlorous acid-based disinfectant spray and moxifloxacin eye drops during acute episodes. Symptoms progressively improved, with complete resolution within 6-9 months and no recurrence. The regimen was well tolerated and no surgical intervention was needed. These findings suggest that this local conservative strategy may serve as an effective first-line treatment, potentially reducing the need for invasive procedures in paediatric dacryocystitis management.
