Detailed explanation-1: -The difference is where the inflammation happens. Dacryoadenitis is inflammation in one or both of your lacrimal glands-your tear glands that are located behind the outside upper corner of each eye. It’s usually caused by infections. Dacryocystitis is inflammation in one of your lacrimal sacs.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dacryoadenitis refers to inflammation of the lacrimal gland and may be unilateral or bilateral. The lacrimal gland is located superotemporally to the globe, within the extraconal orbital fat. The gland consists of palpebral and orbital lobes, which are separated by the lateral horn of the levator aponeurosis.
Detailed explanation-3: -The lacrimal gland produces tears which are secreted by the lacrimal ducts, and flow over the ocular surface, and then into canals that connect to the lacrimal sac. From that sac, the tears drain through the lacrimal duct into the nose.
