A nasolacrimal duct cyst is a cyst that forms in the nasolacrimal duct, which is the tube that carries tears from the eyes to the nose. These cysts can cause a variety of symptoms, including tearing, redness, and swelling of the eyes, as well as a feeling of pressure in the area. Treatment typically involves draining the cyst and, in some cases, surgical removal.

The most common symptom of a nasolacrimal duct cyst is a swelling or lump in the inner corner of the eye. Other symptoms may include:

-Tearing

-Redness
-Pain
-Blurred vision
-Sensitivity to light
-Discharge from the eye
-Crusting of the eyelids
-A feeling of something in the eye

Nasolacrimal duct cysts are caused by a blockage of the nasolacrimal duct, which is the tube that carries tears from the eye to the nose. This blockage can be caused by a number of factors, including infection, trauma, congenital abnormalities, and tumors.

The primary treatment for a nasolacrimal duct cyst is surgical removal. This is usually done under general anesthesia and involves making an incision in the corner of the eye to access the cyst. The cyst is then removed and the tear duct is repaired. In some cases, a stent may be placed in the tear duct to help keep it open. Other treatments may include antibiotics to treat any infection, steroid injections to reduce inflammation, and laser therapy to shrink the cyst.
