Dr. D. Padma Prabha, Dr. P. Satyavani

Abstract :

 Aim:

This is a clinical study of histologically proven conjunctival cysts to document the different varieties, clinical presentation and their surgical management.

Material and methods:

Fifty one (51) Patients who presented with cystic lesions of the conjunctiva to the department of the Oculoplastics and Orbital diseases, Sarojini Devi Eye hospital were studied over a period of two years from August 2015 - July 2017. A thorough clinical evaluation was done for all the patients and surgical excision was carried out after basic haematological investigations. All the specimens were subjected for histopathological examination

Results:

The various types of conjunctival cysts found in our study were Inclusion cyst 16, Ductal cyst 11, Epidermoid and Dermoid cysts 10, Dacryops 7, parasitic cyst 3, Cystic Pterygium 4. The common symptoms with which patients presented were presence of swelling, foreign body sensation, ocular motility restriction and cosmetic disfigurement. No recurrences of the lesions were noted so far.

Conclusion:

Meticulous surgical procedure used in careful and intact removal of cysts prevents any recurrence which is the main post operative concern for the surgeon
