Résumé
Orbital conjunctival epithelial cysts have traditionally been excised, with the risk of leaving behind remnants that may result in recurrences. We present an 18-year-old male who complained of a poorly retained prosthesis three years after a primary evisceration and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) ball implant. We performed cyst aspiration and injection foam sclerotherapy for the cyst, which resolved completely in six weeks, allowing the prosthesis to be retained comfortably. Aspiration and injection of sclerosing agents may result in the collapse of the cyst along with fibrosis of their walls with obliteration of the lumen, resulting in complete resolution.
