 The right terminology for congenital dacryocystitis is congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNDLO). CNDLO is the most common cause of epiphora in children. Obstruction of the lacrimal drainage system can occur at any age and is a particularly common paediatric problem in 20–30% of cases, although only 1–6% of cases are symptomatic and affects 11% of preterm birth.[1]
