Blockage12
- What's Tear Duct Massage (Treating Tear-Duct Blockage)? (kidshealth.org)
- When a tear duct is blocked (a blockage), the tears can't drain. (kidshealth.org)
- A blocked tear duct is a partial or complete blockage in the pathway that carries tears from the surface of the eye into the nose. (medlineplus.gov)
- In adults, the outlook for a blocked tear duct varies, depending on the cause and how long the blockage has been present. (medlineplus.gov)
- Tear duct blockage may lead to an infection (dacryocystitis) in part of the nasolacrimal duct called the lacrimal sac. (medlineplus.gov)
- Tear duct blockage can also increase the chance of other infections, such as conjunctivitis. (medlineplus.gov)
- If your provider suspects a blocked tear duct, you may undergo other tests to find the location of the blockage. (mayoclinic.org)
- Then the provider threads a tube, called a catheter, through the tear duct blockage in the nose. (mayoclinic.org)
- At an early age, tear duct massage or topical antibiotics may be helpful in releasing the blockage and improving the symptoms. (aapos.org)
- However, when the blockage is does not improve, one or more of the following surgical treatments may be recommended: tear duct probing, tear duct irrigation, balloon tear duct dilation, and tear duct tube placement. (aapos.org)
- The medication does NOT open the blocked tear duct and symptoms will come when the eye drops are discontinued if the tear duct blockage is still present. (aapos.org)
- Dacryocystitis Dacryocystitis is infection of the tear (lacrimal) sac usually due to a blockage in the tear (nasolacrimal) duct. (msdmanuals.com)

Bile10
- Damage to the bile ducts. (healthline.com)
- These ducts function to drain bile. (healthline.com)
- The gallbladder is part of a network of structures known collectively as the biliary tree, which drains bile from the liver into the duodenum to facilitate digestion. (cdc.gov)
- The biliary tree also includes the cystic duct, the right and left hepatic ducts, and the common hepatic and common bile ducts, as well as a series of microscopic biliary vessels. (cdc.gov)
- The same diverticulum forms the gallbladder and bile ducts as well. (medscape.com)
- This division is based on the right and left branches of the hepatic artery and the portal vein (see the image below), with tributaries of bile (hepatic) ducts following. (medscape.com)
- Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of an improved overlength biliary stent in the treatment of bile duct stricture. (bvsalud.org)
- Patients with bile duct stricture in Peking University International Hospital from February 2016 to June 2021 were randomly divided into the conventional plastic biliary stents (CPBS) group and the improved overlength biliary stents (IOBS) group by envelope random method. (bvsalud.org)
- The incidence of postoperative complications, median patency time of postoperative stent and reoperation rate within 6 months were compared between the two groups, Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve, and log-rank test was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IOBS in the treatment of bile duct stricture.

Thoracic duct20
- In human anatomy, the thoracic duct (also known as the left lymphatic duct, alimentary duct, chyliferous duct, and Van Hoorne's canal) is the larger of the two lymph ducts of the lymphatic system (the other being the right lymphatic duct). (wikipedia.org)
- The thoracic duct usually begins from the upper aspect of the cisterna chyli, passing out of the abdomen through the aortic hiatus into first the posterior mediastinum and then the superior mediastinum, extending as high up as the root of the neck before descending to drain into the systemic (blood) circulation at the venous angle. (wikipedia.org)
- The thoracic duct carries chyle, a liquid containing both lymph and emulsified fats, rather than pure lymph. (wikipedia.org)
- In adults, the thoracic duct is typically 38-45 cm in length and has an average diameter of about 5 mm. (wikipedia.org)
- The thoracic duct commences at the upper extremity of the cisterna chyli at the level of the T12 vertebra. (wikipedia.org)
- Abdomen From its origin at the cisterna chyli, the thoracic duct ascends anterior to and to the right of the vertebral column, siuated in between the aorta, and the azygos vein. (wikipedia.org)
- The thoracic duct traverses the diaphragm at the aortic hiatus to enter the posterior mediastinum. (wikipedia.org)
- In the superior mediastinum, the thoracic duct is situated posterior to and to the left of the esophagus. (wikipedia.org)
- The thoracic duct usually drains into the systemic (blood) circulation at the left venous angle where left subclavian and left internal jugular veins unite to form the left brachiocephalic vein. (wikipedia.org)
- The characteristic anatomy of the thoracic duct is present in only about half of individuals. (wikipedia.org)
- a plexus of lymphatic vessels replacing the thoracic duct inferiorly and only coalescing into a single duct in the mediastinum may also occur. (wikipedia.org)
- Rarely, the thoracic duct may be entirely bilaterally paired. (wikipedia.org)
- Termination In over 95% of individuals, the thoracic duct ends by draining either at the venous angle, or into the internal jugular vein, or the subclavian vein, but - in the minority of cases - empties into either the brachiocephalic vein, external jugular vein, suprascapular vein, transverse cervical vein, or vertebral vein. (wikipedia.org)
- In a vast majority of cases, the thoracic duct terminates on the left side, but may rarely terminate on the right side of the body, or bilaterally. (wikipedia.org)
- Rarely, the thoracic duct terminates "prematurely" by emptying into the azygous system. (wikipedia.org)
- The lymph transport, in the thoracic duct, is mainly caused by the action of breathing, aided by the duct's smooth muscle and by internal valves which prevent the lymph from flowing back down again. (wikipedia.org)
- In adults, the thoracic duct transports up to 4 L of lymph per day. (wikipedia.org)
- The thoracic duct becomes adaptively dilated in the presence of certain pathological conditions (congestive heart failure, portal hypertension, and malignancy). (wikipedia.org)
- The first sign of a malignancy, especially an intra-abdominal one, may be an enlarged Virchow's node, a lymph node in the left supraclavicular area, in the vicinity where the thoracic duct empties into the left brachiocephalic vein, right between where the left subclavian vein and left internal jugular join (i.e., the left Pirogoff angle). (wikipedia.org)
- All lymphatic drainage from region V and region IV on the internal jugular chain collect into the jugular trunk (ie, a group of nodes positioned at the internal jugular anterior brachiocephalic veins) and subsequently into the thoracic duct on the left or directly into the brachiocephalic vein on the right.
