WAGR syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that stands for:

1.	Wilms Tumor: A type of kidney cancer that primarily affects children.
2.	Aniridia: Absence of the iris, the colored part of the eye, leading to visual impairment.
3.	Genitourinary Anomalies: Various abnormalities of the genitals and urinary tract. In males, this might include undescended testes (cryptorchidism) or hypospadias. In females, it might include streak ovaries or other genital malformations.
4.	Intellectual Disability (previously referred to as “mental Retardation”): Developmental delays and intellectual disability of varying degrees.

Q

Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction: Treatment (TTT)

A

Massage

The appearance differs from conjunctivitis in that the child will not have any discomfort and the conjunctiva remains white. Gentle massage of the lacrimal sac may cause expression of mucus.

90% of nasolacrimal duct obstructions will spontaneously resolve by 12 months of age. Due to this, referrals should wait until the child is 1 year of age.
