10/25/2012 - "A patient with orbital infarction syndrome due to orbital cellulitis after transcanalicular dacryocystorhinostomy with diode laser is described. "
05/01/2003 - "Thirteen patients had infection in the following clinical settings: 8 patients had infections after blepharoplasty, 2 patients had infections that involved the anophthalmic socket, 1 patient had orbital cellulitis after orbital fracture repair with an alloplastic implant, and 2 patients had infections involving the lacrimal system, one after silicone tube insertion and the other after dacryocystorhinostomy with silicone tube intubation. "
05/01/1997 - "Medical treatment consisted of hospital admission for administration of intravenous antibiotics followed by inpatient surgery, which varied according to the age of the patient and the clinical history: 1) Acute dacryocystitis in neonates was treated surgically by nasolacrimal duct probing and nasal endoscopy for excision of intranasal duct cyst; 2) Acute dacryocystitis with periorbital cellulitis was treated surgically by nasolacrimal duct probing; 3) Acute dacryocystitis due to facial trauma was treated surgically by dacryocystorhinostomy and stent placement; and 4) Acute dacryocystitis complicated by orbital abscess was treated by inferior orbitotomy for orbital abscess drainage, simultaneous nasolacrimal duct probing, and stent placement. "
11/01/2009 - "Reasons cited for performing incision and drainage included a tense, pointing abscess, severe pain not relieved with narcotics, periorbital cellulitis, dacryocystitis refractory to antibiotics alone, and the need to control infection prior to dacryocystorhinostomy. "
