Abstract
Objective This study assessed the efficacy and safety of different modalities for managing nasolacrimal duct obstruction and epiphora in children over one year. Methods We performed a non-randomized prospective study on 98 children (149 eyes) with epiphora and no history of lacrimal operation. The selected candidates attended the ENT and ophthalmology outpatient clinics of Minia University Hospital, seeking to treat epiphora that may or may not be associated with sinonasal pathology. Nasolacrimal operations involved a joint approach involving an otorhinolaryngologist and an ophthalmologist. Results Ninety-eight children (149 eyes) were identified. Ages varied from 1 to 12 years old. Conservative measures were successful in 32.6% of children. Silicone stents were used in 27.5% of the interventions with a mean time to removal of 3-6 months. The success rate for dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) was 85.7%. Revision surgery was performed in 10% of probing cases, 8% of intubation cases, and 14.3% of DCR patients. The concomitant chronic sinonasal problems were evident in 62.2% of patients. Conclusion Conservative measures, probing, endonasal nasolacrimal intubation, endoscopic DCR, and external DCR are safe and effective procedures for epiphora in children. Also, correcting concomitant nasopharyngeal or sinonasal diseases in epiphora patients is crucial for successful management, overcoming recurrence, and minimizing morbidity.

BMJ Open Ophthalmol 2021; 6:e000775. [PMID: 34584962 PMCID: PMC8460530 DOI: 10.1136/bmjophth-2021-000775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2021] [Accepted: 08/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate ocular manifestations of reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2-infected patients in a validated comparative model, and additionally to evaluate the correlation between severity of COVID-19 and ocular manifestations. METHODS AND ANALYSIS In a prospective cross-sectional study, a total of 2400 subjects were enrolled over a period of 8 months. To eliminate bias of identical ocular symptom profile in other non-COVID-19 respiratory infections and to acquire a comparative model, 1200 COVID-19 RT-PCR-positive patients (group 1) and 1200 RT-PCR-negative patients (group 2) were included. Data collection included use of a prestructured tool and 'Google-forms', along with stratification of patients into 'mild, moderate, and severe' categories. Study subjects were evaluated for ocular manifestations by clinical examination and laboratory work-up. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. RESULTS 144 (12%) patients in group 1 had ocular symptoms as compared with 24 (2%) patients in group 2 (p<0.001). Ocular manifestations (symptoms and signs) comprising burning sensation (6.7%, p<0.001), foreign body sensation and irritation (7.0%, p<0.001), and conjunctival signs (2.7%, p<0.001) were found statistically significant in group 1 as compared with group 2. Ocular involvement increased in proportion to severity of COVID-19: mild (5.3%), moderate (24.6%) and severe (58.8%) (p=0.0006). CONCLUSION The frequency of occurrence of ocular manifestations was higher in group 1 as opposed to group 2. Furthermore, the presence of ocular manifestations carried a direct correlation with severity of systemic disease and presence of comorbidities.

Abstract
I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BACKGROUND: The 5 years since the publication of the first International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Rhinosinusitis (ICAR-RS) has witnessed foundational progress in our understanding and treatment of rhinologic disease. These advances are reflected within the more than 40 new topics covered within the ICAR-RS-2021 as well as updates to the original 140 topics. This executive summary consolidates the evidence-based findings of the document. METHODS ICAR-RS presents over 180 topics in the forms of evidence-based reviews with recommendations (EBRRs), evidence-based reviews, and literature reviews. The highest grade structured recommendations of the EBRR sections are summarized in this executive summary. RESULTS ICAR-RS-2021 covers 22 topics regarding the medical management of RS, which are grade A/B and are presented in the executive summary. Additionally, 4 topics regarding the surgical management of RS are grade A/B and are presented in the executive summary. Finally, a comprehensive evidence-based management algorithm is provided. CONCLUSION This ICAR-RS-2021 executive summary provides a compilation of the evidence-based recommendations for medical and surgical treatment of the most common forms of RS.

Abstract
Background Nasolacrimal duct obstruction, secondary to inflammation of the nasal mucosa, can result in epiphora. This can be treated successfully with topical corticosteroids, avoiding the need for surgery. This study tests the hypothesis that treating clinically significant rhinitis improves the symptoms of epiphora. Methods A randomized controlled crossover trial (pilot study) was performed at the Cumberland Infirmary, Carlisle. Patients were assessed in an epiphora clinic by a consultant ophthalmologist and were included in the trial if they had bilateral functional epiphora, i.e., the nasolacrimal duct was patent on syringing. Twenty-three patients were then referred to a consultant otolaryngologist, where the severity of rhinitis and epiphora were assessed using visual analogue scales, subjective scoring, and clinical assessment. The 11 patients suitable for the study were randomized into two groups. The treatment group received nasal corticosteroids and the control group received no treatment, both groups changing treatment arms at a specified point. Subjective and objective scores were assessed at the beginning, midpoint, and end of each treatment period. Results Seven of 11 patients showed an improvement in epiphora scores with topical therapy. Six patients documented a symptomatic improvement. Eight patients showed an improvement in symptoms and signs of rhinitis, with two patients continuing on nasal corticosteroids for nasal symptoms only. There was a statistically significant improvement in both epiphora symptom scores and clinical findings of rhinitis in patients treated with nasal steroids (p = 0.021 and 0.019, respectively). Conclusion Epiphora secondary to rhinitis can be treated successfully with intranasal steroids. Patients with epiphora should be asked about symptoms of rhinitis and should always have their nose examined for evidence of intranasal pathology.
