Abstract

A 2-year-old female presented with watering and mucoid discharge from both eyes. She was a known case of Down syndrome with delayed developmental milestones having no similar complaints in her family. Upon examination, the lacrimal sac regurgitation test was positive on both the sides and she had typical mongoloid facies with upward slant of lateral canthus. Nasolacrimal outflow obstruction in Down’s syndrome patients is more often complicated by anomalies of the lacrimal drainage system proximal to the lacrimal sac.
