A swelling or bulging of the lacrimal sac caused by accumulated fluid.
From Greek 'dakryon' (tear) + 'kele' (swelling or hernia). The '-cele' suffix indicates a pouch, hernia, or abnormal protrusion of tissue.
Imagine the tear sac filling up with fluid like a water balloon—that's what dacryocele looks like, and it shows how Greek medical terms actually describe what's happening in the body!
