Abstract
Between 1987-1991 we inserted Crawford tubes in the nasolacrimal syste m in 24 children with recurrent epiphora following unsuccessful probin g. Twenty-two are free of epiphora and discharge from 6 months to 4 ye ars after the removal of tubes and 2 children show no improvement. Apa rt from mild epistaxis at the time of the tube insertion and tube disp lacement within 2 weeks of insertion in 3 children, we report no other complications.
