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.
