Sažetak
Alacrima is a rare disorder defined as decreased or absent tear production that is mostly manifested from birth. It may occur as isolated due to congenital aplasia/hypoplasia or impaired innervation of the lacrimal gland and associated structures, but it may also
be part of a rare, predominantly genetic disorder. We present a case of a boy with congenital alacrima, discuss diagnostic work-up
and review differential diagnosis of dry eye with emphasis on disorders that occur in childhood.
