  • Title: Pathology and imaging of the lacrimal drainage system.
    Author: Ansari SA, Pak J, Shields M.
    Journal: Neuroimaging Clin N Am; 2005 Feb; 15(1):221-37. PubMed ID: 15927869.
    Abstract:
    The lacrimal drainage apparatus drains tears from the eye. The system is susceptible to a multitude of pathologic findings, including obstruction, infection, inflammation, and neoplasms. The diagnosis of several of these processes is aided by the use of radiologic studies. In conjunction with dacryocystography, cross-sectional modalities, such as CT and MR imaging have improved the ability of diagnostic imaging to characterize the obstructive nature and soft tissue or osseous changes of various disease processes.
