PURPOSE: To investigate the effectiveness of anterior canthal tendon release in the management of centurion syndrome. METHODS: Four patients diagnosed as having the centurion syndrome were treated over a period of 3 years. They all underwent bilateral anterior canthal tendon release under local anesthesia. RESULTS: None of these patients had adequate apposition of the lower puncta after surgery. One patient had partial relief of epiphora on one side. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that anterior canthal tendon release is insufficient as a sole treatment for patients with centurion syndrome. |
