Primary nasolacrimal duct obstruction visualized on 123I pre-ablation scan for papillary thyroid carcinoma. J Nucl Med Technol. 2019 Oct 11;: Authors: Kay MD, Morris-Wiseman LF, Beazer A, Winegar BA, Kuo PH Abstract A 56-year old male received a total thyroidectomy, bilateral central and right lateral neck dissection for papillary thyroid carcinoma with lymph nodes metastases. Prior to radioiodine ablation the pre-therapy 123I scan established the diagnosis of primary nasolacrimal duct obstruction (dacryostenosis). PMID: 31604890 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
