Intranasal mucoceles can be associated with dacryocysteoceles when the obstructed nasolacrimal duct causes a distention of nasal mucosa into the nasal cavity most commonly at the level of the occluded valve of Hasner. With nasal examination, these nasal mucoceles can be observed extending below the inferior turbinate. The majority of reported cases of con- genital dacryocystoceles with intranasal mucoceles have been unilateral. This is a rare case of bilateral congenital dacryocystoceles with intranasal mucoceles in the neo- nate. Congenital dacryocystoceles with intranasal muco- celes are an uncommon entity. The overwhelming majority of reported cases are unilateral in nature. We present a rare case of a neonate with bilateral congenital dacryocystoceles with intranasal mucoceles. Management of dacryocystoceles includes medical and surgical treatment. Li
