Bilateral nasal obstruction due to simultaneous bilateral dacrocystocoeles is a rare and potentially life threatening condition. We present a five day old girl with this condition who presented with respiratory distress without any eye signs or symptoms associated with dacryocystocoeles. She was successfully managed with surgery and the clinical and radiological features of this condition are presented here with a review of the literature.
