The Glow-Getter

Drs. Rolika Bansal and Santosh Honavar discuss the etiopathogenesis, classification, clinical features, and histopathology of congenital lacrimal fistula and demonstrate a simple technique of closed fistulectomy in a 16-year-old girl with patent nasolacrimal duct. This surgery, if performed with patience and precision, can achieve complete excision of the fistulous tract with good anatomic and functional outcomes.
