Purpose: Primary corneoscleral cyst is a rare disease occurring in the pediatric age group. We report a case of corneoscleral cyst with visual diminution. Methods: We conducted a case report. Results: A 7-year-old girl presented with corneal opacity in the left eye. Examination revealed a corneoscleral cyst. The corneal part of the cyst involved visual axis. Surgical excision with a scleral graft was performed, leading to an improvement in visual acuity. No recurrences were observed until the last follow-up at 18 months. Conclusions: Corneoscleral cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic ocular surface disorders in the pediatric age group.

“…Corneal epithelial inclusion cyst (CEIC) is an uncommon corneal disease in dogs 1‐6 . CEICs are also described in cats, 7 llamas, 8 and humans 9‐16 . The etiology of CEIC is usually traumatic or iatrogenic, 17 although congenital CEICs are described in the literature in humans 18 .…”

Objective The aim of this retrospective study was to review the clinical data and outcomes of patients that suffered corneal epithelial inclusion cysts (CEIC). Animals studied Thirteen eyes from 12 dogs from multiple private practices in France and Belgium, with a strong clinical of CEIC were included in the study. Results The mean age of affected dogs was 9 years. There were 9 females and 3 males. Two out of 12 dogs were Shih Tzus. Where identified, etiology was traumatic. Eleven dogs were affected unilaterally, 1 bilaterally. The cysts were single, bi‐lobulated, or tri‐lobulate, and cyst size ranged from 1 to 6 mm in diameter. Keratectomy alone was performed in seven cases, in conjunction with a conjunctival graft in three cases, a porcine small intestine mucosa graft in two cases, or an amniotic membrane graft in one case. Histopathologic findings were consistent in all eyes with a cyst located in the corneal stroma, composed of a nonkeratinized squamous epithelium delineating a lumen filled with neutrophils and desquamated epithelial cells. Surgery was curative in all cases but one, where the removal was incomplete and recurrence occurred several weeks after the surgery. Conclusion Corneal epithelial inclusion cysts is a rare condition, secondary to corneal trauma, which can be treated successfully with conventional keratectomy alone or in conjunction with graft procedures.

Purpose:To report a case of sclerocorneal cyst found in a 4-year-old female following strabismus surgery treated with cyst wall excision and scleral graft. Case summary: A 4-year-old female with a history of strabismus surgery performed 1.5 year prior presented with a whitish lesion in cornea and sclera which developed 1 month ago. Slit-lamp examination revealed a 4.2 × 3.5 mm-sized cyst at the superotemporal part of the cornea, extending into the sclera at 3-o'clock. Cyst fluid, precipitate aspiration, and cyst wall excision were performed. Scleral patch graft was used to cover the scleral defects after excision. Upon histopathological examination, the cyst wall was lined with nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium and numerous degenerated epithelial cells were present in the cyst aspirate. Conclusions: Sclerocorneal cyst can rarely develop following trauma or surgery. In this report, the sclerocorneal cyst, possibly induced by previous strabismus surgery, was treated successfully without recurrence using cyst wall resection.

In Vivo Confocal Microscopy of a Corneoscleral Epithelial Cyst After Spontaneous Marsupialization

Abstract: A spontaneous collapse and healing of a corneoscleral cyst are possible. IVCM could be useful for the diagnosis and choice of the surgical treatment in the case of a recurrence.
