Abstract
Canaliculitis is a rare disease of the lacrimal pathway, especially of the canaliculi. It is often not identified, therefore misdiagnosed and inadequately treated. It accounts 2 % of all lacrimal diseases. False diagnoses are usually conjunctivitis, blepharitis, dacryocystitis, hordeolum and chalazi...

Abstract
A total of 12 female patients, age 34-83 years, were included in our study. Epiphora was a dominant symptom in all patients. In two patients deviation of nasal septum was found, and in other one conha bulosa at the same side as chronic dacryocystitis. All patients were subjected to endonasal dacryoc...

Abstract
Roughly 70% to 80% of all mechanical stenoses of the lacrimal duct can be reopened during endoscopic surgery with the use of a laser or a miniaturized drill. CONCLUSION: With the methods described here, it is now possible for the first time to perform surgery that obviates the need for a bypass proc...

We report the case of a woman with a 4-month history of right epiphora and dacryocystitis. Nasal endoscopy revealed the presence of a tumor at the inferior meatus. Histopathologic examination of a biopsy specimen identified the tumor as an oncocytoma. Surgical excision via a lateral rhinotomy approa...

Abstract
The authors successfully assessed the lacrimal systems of two patients with dacryocystocele based on dacryocystographic observations using computed tomographic scanning. The results showed that both the lacrimal sac and the nasolacrimal duct were largely distended, and the duct terminated in a close...

We show that human ALADIN is a protein with an apparent molecular weight of 60 kDa, and expressed in the adrenal gland, pituitary gland and pancreas. Furthermore, biochemical analysis using anti-ALADIN antibody supports the previous finding of the localization of ALADIN in the nuclear membrane. The...
