The most common etiology for congenital epiphora is the obstruction of the lacrimonasal duct. Congenital obstruction of the lacrimonasal duct (CLNDO) is the most frequent abnormality of the lacrimal sac of the child. It s incidence varies from 1.8% to 20%. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of lacrimonasal duct dilatation using balloon-catheter for treatment of CLNDO in children between two and six years old. Besides, to evaluate the anatomical findings of lower lacrimal system of children with CLNDO using multi-detectors computerized tomography dacryocystography (MD-CT-DCG) with three dimension (3D) reconstruction, before and after the balloon-catheter dilatation. This was a prospective interventional case series study, performed with children treated at the Centro de Referência em Oftalmologia (CEROF) from the Universidade Federal de Goiás, with CLNDO. The cases were selected consecutively accordingly with the demand of the service. Thirthy-eight lacrimal systems from 29 children with CLNDO were included and treated with balloon-catheter dilatation. The age varied from 24 to 64 months, with average of 38.13 ± 11.26 months. Among the 38 lacrimal systems treated, 33 had complete resolution of the signs and symptoms of epiphora (success rate of 86.84%). A radiological study from the last 18 operated lacrimal systems was performed before and five minutes after balloon-catheter dacrioplasty. The circumference of the largest portion of lacrimal system, measured before the procedure, varied from 0.64 to 2cm with an average of 1.30 ± 0.45cm. The amount of contrast prior to the procedure varied from 0.01 to 0.38cm3, with an average of 0.12 ± 0.08cm3. The amount of contrast after the procedure varied from 0.01 to 0.20cm3, with an average of 0.07 ± 0.06cm3 (p = 0.01). The multivariate logistic regression analysis ( backward" model) showed that the difference in the amount of contrast before and after the procedure (p=0,04) and the largest portion of lacrimal sac (p=0,01) were the variables determining for the success of the procedure. There were no complications with the procedure. In conclusion, the balloon-catheter dilatation was proved to be effective as the first procedure in the vast majority of children with CLNDO. The technique of MD-CT-DCG-3D provides detailed information about the anatomy of the lacrimal system, including the lacrimal flow immediately after the dilatation. The difference in the amount of contrast before and after the procedure and the largest portion of lacrimal sac were the variables determining for the success of the procedure.
