Source abstract
We report the case of a 5-year-old boy who presented with an enlarging intrastromal cyst at the site of a previous corneal laceration. The cyst was monitored biannually for 2 years, during which time it continued to enlarge and encroach on the visual axis, prompting surgical drainage. Subsequent recurrences necessitated repeating drainage twice, followed by prolonged stability. This case demonstrates successful long-term management of an intrastromal epithelial cyst with curettage and balanced salt solution irrigation.
