Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction on (131)I SPECT/CT: Atypical False-positive Paranasal Radioiodine Uptake as a Complication of Single-dose RAI Treatment

Nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) is a rare complication after radioiodine therapy and may cause false positive (131)I uptake at the point of obstruction in (131)I whole body scan. Here, we report a 59-year-old female patient with papillary thyroid cancer treated with total thyroidectomy followed...

description Nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) is a rare complication after radioiodine therapy and may cause false positive (131)I uptake at the point of obstruction in (131)I whole body scan. Here, we report a 59-year-old female patient with papillary thyroid cancer treated with total thyroidectomy followed by (131)I therapy. (131)I whole body scan revealed focal uptake in the head. Single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (CT) showed focal uptake at the right proximal nasolacrimal duct. The ophthalmologic examination and the diagnostic maxillofacial CT confirmed the diagnosis of NLDO.
