Digit J Ophthalmol. 2024 Jul 6;30(3):48-50. doi: 10.5693/djo.02.2023.12.001. eCollection 2024.

Abstract

A 4-year-old girl presented with an enlarging, congenital, intrascleral cyst of the left eye. Intraoperative anterior segment optical coherence tomography was used to visualize and to assess the extent of the cyst, facilitating safe excision. The cyst was completely removed, and the defect was covered with an amniotic membrane graft, with a good outcome.
