Figure 3. Decompression of the lacrimal sac through probing (first time). Clinical image of an infant with a massive right-sided lacrimal abscess. Acute dacryocystitis with giant lacrimal abscess before decompression and probing (A1) is illustrated. Abundant purulent material was aspirated from the lacrimal abscess (A2), relieving the pressure within the sac. Immediate image showing a favorable response. The abscess disappeared with relaxed overlying skin (B).
