"Dacryocystectomy" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Dacryocystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the lacrimal gland, which is responsible for producing tears.
Dacrymycetaceae is a family of fungi commonly known as jelly fungi. They are known for their soft, jelly-like texture and typically grow on decaying wood or plant material. The term "Dacrymycetaceae" comes from the Greek words "dakryon", meaning "tear", and "mykes", meaning "fungus", likely due to the gelatinous appearance of these fungi.
A dacryocele is a type of swelling that develops in the eye, usually in children, that is caused by an abnormal accumulation of mucus and debris in the nasolacrimal duct. It can cause tearing, redness, and swelling around the eye. In some cases, it can be a sign of a more serious underlying condition, such as a congenital anomaly or an infection, and may require surgical treatment to drain the mucus and restore proper drainage.
