Acute dacryocystitis in newborns is rare, occurring in fewer than 1% of all newborns.
Probing should not be performed because mucoceles often are not sterile and probing may incite a cellulitis.
Acute cases are best treated surgically after the infection has subsided with adequate antibiotic therapy.
