ABSTRACT

Anthropometric study of 10 saggittal head sectionsin the indian subjects was undertaken to provide the endoscopicist embarking upon trans nasal endo scopic dacrocystorhinostomy in our institution ,41.20 +_ 4.96 mm distance was measured between the nasolacrimal sac and the anterior nasal spine, 10.20mm +_ 2.89 mm between intranasal orifice of the nasolacrimal duct and the anterior attachment of the inferior turbinate. The length of the nasolacrimal duct was 21.75+_ 2.37 mm  Distance between the nasolacrimal duct and the maxillary sinus ostium was 4.15mm +_ 0.85 mm and between anterior nasal spine and axilla of the middle turbinate 46.6+_ 2.27 mm

KEY WORDS: Nasolacrimal duct, Anterior nasal spine, Axilla of middle turbinate.
