Kantung lakrimal adalah ujung terdilasi atas dari saluran air mata,[1] dan terletak di sebuah lekukan dalam yang terbentuk dari tulang lakrimal dan prosesus frontal maksila. Kantung ini menghubungkan kanalikuli lakrimal, yang mengalirkan air mata dari permukaan mata, dengan saluran air mata, yang membawa air mata tersebut ke rongga hidung.[2] Penyumbatan kantung lakrimal dikenal sebagai dakriosistitis.[3]

Anatomy: The lacrimal sac extends approximately 10 mm above the axilla of the middle turbinate.

The lacrimal sac lies within a fossa in the anterior portion of the medial orbital wall. This fossa is formed by the frontal process of the maxillary bone and the lacrimal bone. The sac is surrounded by fascia, continuous with the periorbita, which runs from the anterior to the posterior lacrimal crests.

Tears drain through the canaliculi, lacrimal sac and naso-lacrimal duct into the nose. Blockage of the naso-lacrimal duct prevents drainage of the lacrimal sac, which may lead to infection, causing a painful swelling at the side of the nose below the medial canthus. This may present as a chronically watery, discharging eye, or as an acutely inflamed abscess. This should be treated with oral broad-spectrum antibiotics. The problem may recur unless drainage into the nose is re-established.
