Corneal intrastromal cyst following lamellar keratoplasty.
A case is reported documenting formation of an intrastromal corneal cyst following lamellar keratoplasty. A patient with keratoglobus sustained trauma to the left eye. The trauma resulted in rupture of the cornea, which was repaired with an overlay conreal graft. Two and one-half years later, an intrastromal fluid-filled cyst of the cornea was found in the visual axis. Cytologic examination of the aspirated cyst fluid revealed epithelial cells.
