Traumatic intrastromal corneal cyst

S E Bloomfield, F A Jakobiec, T Iwamoto

    Ophthalmology
    |September 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Intrastromal epithelial corneal cysts are slow-growing lesions, often developing after minor eye trauma in young patients. These non-inflammatory cysts require removal of the epithelial lining for effective treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Corneal Diseases
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Intrastromal epithelial corneal cysts are rare ocular lesions.
    • Understanding their clinical and pathological features is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • This case report details an intrastromal epithelial corneal cyst.
    • The lesion presented as an opalescent cyst, potentially with a fluid level, in a young patient following minor trauma.
    • No signs of ocular inflammation were observed.

    Findings:

    • Pathological examination revealed a cyst cavity lined by cells resembling limbal corneal epithelium.
    • The condition is characterized by slow progression over many years.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition and diagnosis of intrastromal epithelial corneal cysts are important.
    • Treatment involves the surgical removal or destruction of the cyst's epithelial lining.
    • Further research may elucidate the specific mechanisms of cyst formation after trauma.
