Summary
Conjunctivo dacrocysto rhinal fistula is an abnormal communication between the conjunctival
sac and nose through the lacrimal sac. This is a rare and infrequent complication
of acute dacrocystitis and only scanty literature is available. Its management requires
two layered closure, one for nasal lining and the other for the conjunctiva. We report
such a fistula and its management in a young girl.
