영문 초록

Purpose: We report a case of congenital accessory punctum and canaliculus in a patient with dry eye, which had not previously been reported in Korea. Methods: A 56-year old woman presented with dry eye that was more pronounced in the left eye than in the right. An accessory punctum was found in the left medial canthus. Dacryocystogram showed that the accessory punctum had an independent canaliculus which was connected to a normal upper canaliculus. Results: The symptoms were relieved after permanent punctal occlusion of the lower and accessory puncta. Conclusions: Severe dry eye can be induced by congenital accessory punctum and canaliculus.
