Congenital dacryocystocele is one of the rare malformations of the facial region. It is caused by the nasolacrimal duct obstruction. It appears more often in female newborns with familial predisposition to the obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct. Usually, it is diagnosed prenatally by the ultrasound in the third trimester scan. Dacryocystocele can cause some problems in infancy. This paper reports the case of properly prenatally diagnosed dacryocystocele which self-regressed shortly before the term. The infant examination did not reveal any malformations in the facial and other structures. There was no sign of the cyst without any treatment in the neonatal period shortly after delivery.

Key words: Dacryocystocele, nasolacrimal duct, prenatal ultrasonography, congenital cyst.
