Ms. Song recently found that
her baby's left eye often secretes a lot of yellow eyelids. Sometimes even the
eyelashes are covered with eyelids.
After wiping off, it will not accumulate a
lot after a long time, and it will not be improved in a few days. After
going to the hospital for examination, the baby was diagnosed with neonatal
dacryocystitis.
"Many
newborns have symptoms of eyelids." Li Xia, an ophthalmologist at the
Provincial People's Hospital, reminds that neonatal eyelids are a big problem.
It may cause neonatal congenital dacryocystitis and other diseases. If not
treated in time, it will affect Newborn vision development.
According
to reports, neonatal dacryocystitis is also called congenital dacryocystitis,
mostly due to congenital lacrimal duct development disorders, such as the
embryonic residual membrane at the lower end of the nasolacrimal duct is not
degraded, blocking the lower end of the nasolacrimal duct, tears remain in the
tears In the sac, causing inflammation after secondary infection; or
conjunctivitis caused by birth canal infection at birth, can affect
inflammation and obstruction through the lacrimal passage; very few newborns
due to stenosis of the nasolacrimal duct or nasal deformity.
It usually
appears as a single side, but it also occurs on both sides.
"Newborns
soon after birth, tears, gradually become purulent secretions, often
misdiagnosed as conjunctivitis." Li Xia said, but the pressure of the
lacrimal sac area when the mucus purulent discharge reflux, and some manifested
as the lacrimal sac area Swelling.
The age of onset is generally 6 weeks after
birth, and a few after 1 year of age, most of them are chronic, gradually
scarring and blocking the entire lacrimal duct.
Li
Xia explained that there are two main causes of symptoms of neonatal eyelids:
First, the neonatal lacrimal gland has not been fully developed, and there are
few tears.
It is not easy to wash away the invading bacteria, and the bacteria
multiply in the eye to cause conjunctivitis; Second, the neonatal immunity is
low, and the resistance to bacteria is also weak, so some bacteria that do not
cause disease in adults and slightly older children may cause neonatal
infection.
In addition, the birth of a newborn baby at birth, the head
will pass through the mother's cervix and vagina, the eye is easily infected by
the bacteria in these parts.
Children
have many eyelids. If they are not treated early, they may have keratitis. The
cornea may also form white spots from black to white, which will have a serious
impact on the baby's vision development.
Li
Xia reminds: Once you find your baby's eyes are unwell, take time to see a
doctor, don't delay the treatment time.
