Abstract

A 56-y-old man underwent total thyroidectomy and bilateral central and right lateral neck dissection for papillary thyroid carcinoma with lymph nodes metastases. Before radioiodine ablation, a ¹²³I scan established the diagnosis of primary nasolacrimal duct obstruction (dacryostenosis).

Keywords: 123I; 131I; nasolacrimal duct obstruction; papillary thyroid carcinoma.
