“…Intracystic injections of low-dose anti-mitotic agents have also been found useful in recurrent secondary iris cyst 17. Needle aspiration and endodiathermy treatment of epithelial inclusion cyst of the iris have also been reported to have a good result 18. Lasers play an important role in the management of iris cysts.…”

BackgroundThe presence of intraocular eyelashes following penetrating eye injury or ocular surgery is relatively uncommon. The response of the eye to intraocular eyelashes is variable. The eyelash may be symptomatic or may remain asymptomatic for long periods.ObjectiveWe report a case with two intraocular eyelashes and an iris cyst after 2 years of asymptomatic period following penetrating eye injury.Case presentationA 24-year-old male presented with decreased vision in the left eye which he had noticed for the previous 2 weeks. His visual acuity was 6/6 in the right eye and 6/18 in the left eye, improving to 6/9 with -2.5 DC × 140° correction. The intraocular pressure was 12 mmHg in both eyes. On slit-lamp examination, the left eye showed 8 mm linear peripheral corneal opacity nasally, two eyelashes in the superior anterior chamber, and an iris cyst measuring 4 mm × 4 mm in the superior iris. The right eye was normal. Dilated fundus examination of both eyes was normal. The eyelashes and cyst were removed surgically. There were no complications during the 3-month follow-up period.ConclusionIntraocular implantation of eyelashes following penetrating eye injury can remain asymptomatic for long periods; however, late development of iris cyst may occur.

“…Multiple methods are suggested due to different degrees of aggravation of growing cysts, surgeon experience and other factors. Presented methods of treatment include en bloc remove, cyst removal using vitrectomy with cryodestruction, radiation, cyst removal with iridectomy [5,11] cyst aspiration without cauterization, aspiration with endodiathermy[18], cryoapplication [19], aspiration with iridectomy, alcohol or mitomycin injection into the cyst [20,21], photocoagulation [22,23], aspiration with photocoagulation of the cyst [13,14,24] or combinations of these techniques [24,25]. …”

Needle aspiration with surgical excision of an epithelial posttraumatic iris cyst – a case report

et al. 2011

SummaryBackgroundThe aim of this study was to report on epithelial posttraumatic iris cyst that was successfully treated with needle aspiration and surgical excision with surrounding iris tissue.Case ReportA 30-year-old women was treated for a large fluid-filled cyst in the anterior chamber of the left eye; 25 years before, she had an open globe injury. She observed deterioration of her visual acuity 1 year before her visit to our clinic. During ophthalmological examination, an iris cyst was diagnosed. As a result, she had Nd: YAG laser puncture of the cyst in the left eye, performed 5 months before she came to our clinic. After a short time of decompression, the cyst rapidly grew in size (2/3 of the anterior chamber), and her visual acuity was getting worse due to an aggressive growth of the iris cyst. Visual acuity was 0.06. Needle aspiration with surgical excision of the cyst with surrounding iris tissue was performed. Histopathologic examination confirmed an epithelial cyst. At the 1-year follow-up, there was no evidence of recurrence of the iris cyst, and BCVA was 0.2.ConclusionsThis case report provides evidence that needle aspiration with surgical excision of iris cyst seems to be an effective treatment method of this complication.
