Abstract
We report a case of naso-cutaneous fistula due to thermal injury during transcanalicular laser dacryocystorhinostomy followed by superadded infection with coagulase negative staphylococcus in a diabetic patient. The case highlights the importance of meticulous wound care in the management and possibility of its occurrence even with minor thermal injury in immunocompromised patients.Entities:
