Abstract

A 30-year-old female patient presented to our clinic because of lacrimation from an orifice close to the left lower eyelid. Ocular examinations and analyses revealed uterus didelphys and unilateral renal agenesis associated with a left lacrimal fistula. The patient underwent fistulectomy and external dacryocystorhinostomy. We decided to report on this patient owing to the unusual concurrent systemic abnormalities.
