Lacrimal cyst

Lacrimal gland cysts are rare, and are generally found after inflammation or trauma. The cause is chronic inflammation that affects the muscular nerves of the lacrimal gland ducts, reducing the lacrimal gland duct contraction force. The inflammatory infiltration around the glandular ducts weakens the wall, and the inflammatory stimulus promotes tear Increased secretion causes passive expansion of the glandular ducts to form cysts.
