Until now, ultrasound examination of the fetal eyes has not played an important role in prenatal diagnosis. National and international guidelines are generally confined to documentation of the presence of the orbits and the lenses. However, in recent years, with the advent of high-resolution ultrasound technology and increasing knowledge of prenatal medicine and genetics, careful examination of the fetal eye has enabled the detection of many ocular malformations before birth. This article provides an overview of the anatomy related to the development of the fetal eye and covers the following conditions: hypertelorism, hypotelorism, exophthalmos, microphthalmos, coloboma, cataract, persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous, retinal detachment, dacryocystocele, and septooptic dysplasia, etc. It is designed to illustrate the spectrum of ocular malformations and their appearance on prenatal ultrasound and to discuss their clinical impact and association with various syndromes.

Congenital arhinia is a rare anomaly characterized by a syndrome called Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome. A 22-year-old woman with a history of congenital arhinia presented with bilateral discharge and enlarged bilateral lacrimal sacs, with imaging consistent with bilateral dacryocystoceles and complete absence of nasal structures. This is the first case in the literature that describes surgical management of bilateral dacryocystoceles in a patient with Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome.

Review
Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome (BAMS) is a rare syndrome consisting of several craniofacial abnormalities, including congenital arhinia. In this case report, the authors present the first case of a patient with BAMS and dacryocystocele who successfully underwent dacryocystectomy. Dacryocystectomy may serve as a viable surgical approach for dacryocystocele in patients with abnormal nasal anatomy. .

PURPOSE
To compare outcomes and complications of three surgical techniques for the treatment of congenital dacryocystoceles: nasolacrimal probing and irrigation (P+I), P+I plus nasal endoscopy (NE) with intranasal cyst marsupialization, and primary NE with intranasal cyst marsupialization.
METHODS
The medical records of children ≤2 years of age at a single academic center with a diagnosis of dacryocystocele from 2012 to 2022 were retrospectively identified and reviewed. The primary outcome was resolution of the dacryocystocele (ie, elimination of the medial canthal mass and resolution of tearing or discharge) after a single procedure ("primary success"). Surgical techniques were compared using exact logistic regression.
RESULTS
Of 54 patients, 21 (39%) underwent P+I, 23 (43%) underwent P+I plus nasal endoscopy, and 10 (18%) underwent primary NE. Primary success was 76% for P+I and 100% for the other two cohorts. Most patients (89%) who underwent P+I received general anesthesia compared with none who underwent primary nasal endoscopy. Most complications were related to the use of general anesthesia, with a complication rate of 10% for P+I, 48% for P+I plus NE, and 0% for primary NE. Most P+I procedures required hospital admission compared to half of primary NE procedures.
CONCLUSIONS
In our study cohort, primary NE provided good outcomes and was associated with a lower complication rate than P+I with or without NE.

We describe 3 infants with congenital dacryocystocele resistant to conservative treatment who were treated with a novel, simple intranasal cyst marsupialization (ICM) technique. Otoscopy-guided ICM was performed by an otolaryngologist in the manner of otoscopic myringotomy for cases with nasal cyst distension. All 3 infants were treated successfully by a single surgical procedure under topical anesthesia in an office setting.

Review
Congenital dacryocystocele presents with a distinct bluish swelling in the medial canthal region in neonates. The authors present four illustrative cases with differing courses and a literature review on dacryocystocele management to raise awareness of the importance of prompt diagnosis, initiation of conservative management, and appropriate referral for surgical assessment. .

Congenital Dacryocystocele is a rare disease of the eye and nose, which originates from congenital obstruction of lacrimal duct system, but accounts for a low proportion in congenital obstruction of lacrimal duct system. We present a case of congenital dacryocystocele to analyze the clinical features and to explore the clinical treatment effect of special congenital dacryocyst protrusion.

PURPOSE
Several non-lacrimal lesions can present with lacrimal sac area swelling mimicking a dacryocystocele or mucocele with a possibility of misdiagnosis. This study investigates the clinic-radiologic characteristics of the mimicking conditions compared to true lacrimal sac distension.
DESIGN
Retrospective, comparative, interventional case series.
PARTICIPANTS
Patients referred by primary care ophthalmologists between January 2015 and October 2021 with a misdiagnosis of dacryocystocele or lacrimal sac mucocele (n = 39) and an age-matched group of proven true lacrimal sac swelling (TLS group, n = 44).
METHODS
Data collected included demographics, presenting features, investigations, management, histopathology, and outcomes. Both groups were statistically compared for several clinical and radiological variables.
RESULTS
Final diagnoses in the mimicking group were skin/subcutaneous swellings (14/39, 35.9%), vascular malformations (10/39, 25.6%), inferomedial anterior orbital cysts (7/39, 17.9%), sino-orbital masses (5/39, 12.8%). Female gender (<0.001), epiphora (p = 0.001), and discharge (p < 0.001) were significantly more frequent in the TLS group. The mimicking group was more likely to be associated with a longer swelling duration (p < 0.001), a swelling extending beyond the lacrimal sac area (p <0.001), orbital signs (p <0.001), and periorbital abnormality. Non-patent lacrimal irrigation (p < 0.001) was significantly more frequent in the TLS group. On imaging, all swellings in the mimicking group were separate from the lacrimal pathway and 94.9% (37/39) extended beyond the lacrimal sac fossa.
CONCLUSION
Various cutaneous, subcutaneous, vascular, inferomedial orbital cystic, and sinonasal pathologies can present with lacrimal sac area swelling and mimic a TLS. A high index of suspicion, a thorough clinical evaluation and proper imaging are essential to avoid a misdiagnosis.
