title: [Reconstruction of the anterior chamber in posttraumatic epithelial ingrowths and epithelial anterior chamber cysts].
abstract: The pathology of penetrating injuries of the cornea and corneal-scleral area with the ingrowth of epithelium and formation of anterior chamber cysts is characterized by polymorphism and can be defined by two main kinds: 1) plane ingrowth of epithelium along the posterior surface of the cornea involving the iris and the lens, and partially or totally obliterating the anterior chamber; 2) formation of cysts with a locked cavity and clear content. In 42 patients with epithelial ingrowths as a result of penetrating injuries of the cornea and corneal-scleral area, the following kinds of interventions were used: 1) transplantation of posterior layers of the cornea with dissection of epithelial growth; 2) dissection of anterior chamber cysts; 3) cystectomy; 4) dissection of the cite of epithelial ingrowth by means of corneal transplantation with removal of the cyst or reconstruction of the anterior chamber. Immediate and remote results of surgical treatment, complications in various forms of the mentioned pathology are described.
