What is it?<\/h5>\n

Dacryocystitis<\/h1>\n

It is the inflammation of the lacrimal sac, generally as a consequence of an acute or chronic infectious process, which causes the obstruction of the lacrimal-nasal duct. Other causes of this pathology are, although to a lesser extent, the existence of nasal trauma, nasal polyps or previous nasal surgery. <\/p>\n

Dacryocystitis is when tears accumulate in the lacrimal sac because they do not drain properly, and end up spilling to the outside of the eye.<\/p>\n

The most frequent symptoms include constant tearing (epiphora), redness due to inflammation, painful edema in the inner part of the lower eyelid, i.e. in the area of the lacrimal sac which is swollen with fluid accumulation, and conjunctivitis. Occasionally, secretions through the lacrimal punctum and fever may also occur.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][toggles style=”minimal_small”][toggle color=”Accent-Color” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Read more”][vc_column_text]Dacryocystitis<\/strong> can affect newborn infants due to congenital obstruction of the tear duct, which hinders or prevents the drainage of tears.<\/p>\n

When it manifests itself suddenly and acutely, the patient suffers a rather painful inflammation that should be treated urgently to avoid possible complications. On the other hand, when the infection is chronic, it presents milder but recurrent symptoms.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][\/toggles][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”3216″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”50″ bottom_padding=”50″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” id=”tratamiento-esp” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_color=”#1c2940″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_divider_height=”100″ bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”curve_opacity”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n
