In most cases, the tear duct opens spontaneously within the first year of life, assisted by massage. In cases where there is no improvement, surgical probing may be required. This study aimed to analyse the presentation and outcomes of surgically treated tear duct obstructions in children at our clinic.</p><p><strong>Patients and methods: </strong>A retrospective analysis was conducted using electronic medical records of patients under 18 years of age who were treated for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction between 2011 and 2023. Data collected included demographic information, symptoms, stenosis location, surgical therapy, and outcomes. Additionally, parents of the patients were surveyed regarding the postoperative condition and symptomatology. The study was approved by the Cantonal Ethics Commission Zurich (BASEC2022-00830).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Of a total of 147 identified patients (39 female, 62 male), 69% could be analysed with available consent. The age at initial examination ranged from 8 months to 12 years (median 27 months). Unilateral stenosis was observed in 69% of cases and bilateral stenosis in 31%. The most common symptoms were epiphora (95%), matted eyelashes (68%), mucous discharge (23%), and redness of the eyelids/conjunctiva (19%). Malformations were identified intraoperatively in 11% of cases. A second probing was necessary in 10% of cases, with ages ranging from 18 to 69 months (median 38 months). Dacryocystorhinostomy was performed in 4% of cases (age 92 - 145 months, median 113 months). Postoperatively, 70.5% reported subjective and/or objective symptom resolution, 22.7% experienced persistent epiphora, and 6.8% had recurrent matted eyelashes. Of the 101 patients surveyed, 77 responded to the questionnaire. Among them, 92% reported that tearing was no longer present, 96% no longer required therapy, 97% reported uncomplicated surgery, 17% experienced recurrent tearing, and 6% required additional non-lacrimal treatments.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>In most cases, probing and irrigation alone are sufficient for healing. Temporary stent placement is more frequently necessary in older children. An intervention after 18 months of age does not negatively impact healing.</p>","PeriodicalId":17904,"journal":{"name":"Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143523761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pathogenesis of foveal herniation is still unknown, though it is likely attributable to the centripetal contraction of the epiretinal membrane (ERM). Moreover, thinning of the prefoveolar internal limiting membrane (ILM) may further exacerbate this process by reducing the structural support for the retina in that area. In the literature, foveal herniation with ERM is rare and usually described as unilateral. Most cases present a good visual outcome after surgical intervention.</p><p><strong>Case description: </strong>We describe the case of a 37-year-old Caucasian male patient, without any previous ocular history, who presented with metamorphopsia and a sustained reduction visual acuity to his left eye that had persisted for several months. The baseline best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was recorded as 0.05 decimals. Anterior segment examination was unremarkable, while dilated fundoscopy revealed an ERM with a concentric ring of foveal tissue prolapse. SD-OCT showed the foveal tissue protruding through and above the ERM, demonstrating the severe foveal herniation. A diagnosis of idiopathic ERM with foveal herniation was established based on these findings. Subsequently, the patient was scheduled for surgical intervention to undergo pars-plana vitrectomy with ERM peeling. After the surgery, the patient experienced progressive restoration of the foveal anatomy and an improvement of vision to 0.6 decimals from baseline at 3 months.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This case report shows a rare finding of foveal herniation with ERM. This atypical presentation is of important clinical relevance in drawing clinicians' attention to the possibility of these findings, with the goal to prevent erroneous diagnosis and unnecessary treatments. We demonstrate the visual improvement and gradual resolution of foveal herniation with SD-OCT images after ERM removal, and the images show that it may take a few months for the foveal bulge to decrease in height.
