Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Reoperative strabismus surgery can lead to rare complications.
  • Giant orbital cysts are an uncommon post-operative finding.

Observation:

  • A case report detailing a giant orbital cyst medial to the globe after third strabismus repair.
  • Clinical, histopathologic, and radiologic findings were documented.
  • Imaging studies included computed tomographic (CT) scan and orbital ultrasound.

Findings:

  • Successful surgical excision of the benign conjunctival inclusion cyst.
  • Histopathology revealed fibrosis and chronic inflammation.
  • Surgical correction improved large-angle exotropia to a small exodeviation, with partial adduction recovery.

Implications:
