The nasolacrimal duct is most commonly seen on occlusal radiographs specifically the anterior maxillary occlusal radiograph and standard maxillary occlusal radiograph. It presents as an ovoid radiolucent area with a thin radiopaque border at the lateral edge of the nasal cavity in the region of the molars.
