A Case of bilateral agenesis of nasolacrimal ducts with posterior lenticonus

Abstract

Congenital absence of nasolacrimal ducts is a rare presentation of nasolacrimal obstruction in children, but a frequent cause of failure of probing, especially if endoscopic examination is not undertaken. We report a rare association of bilateral absence of nasolacrimal ducts along with bilateral visually significant developmental cataracts with posterior lenticonus in a 1-year-old female child with dysmorphic features.
