Figure 1

Computer tomography scans demonstrating the pathological findings of an ALSG patient. The pathological areas are marked. 1a: The patient shows an aplasia of both lacrimal punctae associated with a mucocele of the lacrimal sac imposing as a benign soft tissue tumor in the region of the medial canthus. 1b: Prosthetically (gold cap) treated teeth after caries-related destruction, especially in the molar region. 1c-d: Axial (c) and coronal (d) computer tomography scan demonstrating mucoceles originating from the lacrimal sac. The os lacrimale is partly destroyed, on the right side more pronounced than on the left side. 1e: Axial computer tomography scan showing a total aplasia of both parotid glands.
