Case report
This was the first pregnancy of a 28-year-old patient with non-contributive personal and family history. It was a spontaneous dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy. Both fetuses were males. There were no fetal anomalies at 20 weeks scan for both twins.
At 32 weeks, a dacryocystocele measuring 7 mm was seen medial to the left orbit in one twin. At 35 weeks the cyst dimensions were reduced to 5 mm. At 38 weeks the cyst was no longer seen.
