Corneoscleral Epithelial Cysts

Abstract

The presence of ectopic lacrimal tissue suggests a developmental etiology for such cysts. Marsupialization of the scleral portion of the cyst and chemical ablation of the lining epithelium of the corneal cyst with 20% trichloroacetic acid appears to be a safe and effective technique in the surgical management of corneoscleral epithelial cysts.
