High-resolution computed tomography assessment of bony nasolacrimal parameters: variations due to age, sex, and facial features.
CONCLUSION: The bony nasolacrimal duct is smaller in younger female patients. Having a taller nose and narrower upper face is also correlated with a smaller calibre duct. Acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction in patients without these demographics or facial features may be more likely due to secondary causes.
