CNLDO in Down syndrome is associated with high rates of bilateral obstructions and with less favourable surgical outcomes. Many patients ultimately require a more robust surgical intervention such as DCR or CDCR. The use of monocanalicular stent in initial probing was associated with a higher success rate, and would appear to be appropriate in all CNLDO-DS cases.
