Crusted hemorrhage was noticed in the tear meniscus of the left eye and just inferior to the left caruncle. With gradient-echo magnetic resonance imaging, the hemorrhagic tissue in the nasolacrimal canal was demonstrated and the diagnosis of nasolacrimal endometriosis was made. Nasolacrimal endometriosis is a rare ocular condition. Its management and histologic diagnosis remain challenging.\nGradient-echo magnetic resonance imaging may be helpful in the diagnosis of nasolacrimal endometriosis.\nCopyright ©2008The American Society of Opthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Inc.","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
