This study describes the case of a patient with a canalicular cyst after punctal plug insertion. A 73-year-old male patient presented with a cystic mass on the right lower eyelid. He had undergone bilateral punctal occlusion with an absorbable punctal plug for dry eye syndrome 8 years ago. The lesion was palpable on the medial side of the right lower eyelid, accompanied by ectropion but without any inflammatory signs. Incision and drainage were performed, and a reduction in the size of the cystic mass was observed. Dacryocystography revealed cystic dilation of the right lower canaliculus, and a lacrimal probing test revealed right lower canalicular obstruction, leading to the diagnosis of a canalicular cyst. If a patient who has undergone punctal occlusion with punctal plugs presents with a mass in the medial canthus, a canalicular cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Craniofacial Surgery serves as a forum of communication for all those involved in craniofacial surgery, maxillofacial surgery and pediatric plastic surgery. Coverage ranges from practical aspects of craniofacial surgery to the basic science that underlies surgical practice. The journal publishes original articles, scientific reviews, editorials and invited commentary, abstracts and selected articles from international journals, and occasional international bibliographies in craniofacial surgery.
