Neonatal dacryocystocele is an uncommon process that may evolve into acute dacryocystitis within the first weeks of life. Neonatal acute dacryocystitis must be treated promptly to avoid potential severe infectious complications. High‐frequency ultrasound is a noninvasive method of diagnosing dacryocystocele, facilitating early therapeutic intervention.
