Résumé
In this work, we provide a detailed characterization of a rare complication-subconjunctival cyst formation after strabismus surgery-in a large German cohort. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 822 consecutive patients who underwent strabismus surgery between 2015 and 2022. The patients received comprehensive eye and orthoptic examinations preoperatively, at 1 day, and at 3 months postoperatively. Cysts were analyzed with slit-lamp examination, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), and histopathological subsumption. Nineteen cases of postoperative cysts were observed (2.3%), 12 of which underwent surgical revision. Clinical evaluation including slit-lamp and AS-OCT as well as histological analysis resulted in a classification of three types of cysts: type 1, which is a single hyporeflective cyst, type 2, which is a multilobular hyporeflective cyst, and type 3, a dense hyperreflective granulomatous-like cyst. Eta (η) correlation ratio analysis could show a correlation between time of clinical appearance and type of cyst (Eta = 0.63). Most cysts developed within 20 days after surgery. Not only did cysts more frequently affect the medial rectus muscle, which in most cases underwent a shortening procedure (11/19 tucks, 4/19 resections) for intermittent exotropia (X(T)), but the cyst also formed earlier than in the lateral rectus muscle (Eta = 0.45). No correlation could be shown between the type of surgical procedure and time of cyst occurrence (Eta = 0.1). Patient age and cyst type correlated strongly (Eta = 0.47). The underlying type of strabismus did not correlate with the type of cyst observed. Our cases showed a strong positive correlation to the type of strabismus (X(T)), age (young patients), and the procedure (tuck/resection). We introduce a grading system for postoperative cysts after strabismus surgery, complementing histopathology and slit-lamp aspects with AS-OCT information.
