Abstract
Surgical management of lacrimal duct obstruction beyond the canaliculi proves to be a promising endeavor in most cases. To realize the full potential of endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy, some aspects of diagnosis and differential indication setting should be considered in order to avoid errors and problems during patient selection, execution of the technical procedure, and communication with ophthalmologists. These issues are described according to the clinical management of patients; current literature is cited.
