  • Title: Recurrent intrascleral cyst after strabismus surgery.
    Author: Verbeek AM, Ramirez AA, Cruysberg JR, Deutman AF.
    Journal: Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol; 1996 Aug; 234 Suppl 1():S229-31. PubMed ID: 8871179.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Intrascleral epithelial inclusion cysts have been described after ocular trauma, scleral buckling and strabismus surgery. They are usually small, asymptomatic and located anteriorly. CASE REPORT: The clinical history of a 9-year-old girl who developed a huge epi- and retrobulbar intrascleral cyst in both the upper and the lower nasal quadrants after multiple strabismus operations is described. RESULTS: Surgical resection of the cyst wall was twice unsuccessful. Drainage of the cyst, followed by the injection of tetracycline (30 mg/ml) in the cyst site, led to complete recovery. CONCLUSION: Recurrent posteriorly located intrascleral cyst can occur after strabismus surgery. Therapy consisting of drainage combined with intrascleral administration of tetracycline solution (30 mg/ml) to induce sclerodesis appeared to be effective during a 2-year follow-up period.
