Abstract
ABSTRACTPurpose: To evaluate the effect of intra-lesional injection of Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) 10% in patients with conjunctival inclusion cysts.Methods: This prospective case series study included all patients with conjunctival inclusion cyst who were referred to our referral center from August 2016 to August 2018. All patients received TCA 10% injection into the conjunctival cyst, and outcomes of the intervention were evaluated at least 6 months later.Results: Ten patients with mean age of 24 ± 17.6 (range 6–65) years including three children received TCA 10% injection into the conjunctival cyst. We included 6 anophthalmic and 4 ophthalmic cases. All patients were treated successfully and no recurrence of the lesion was observed in any case. Mean follow up duration was 18.1 ± 8.3 (range 6–28) months.Conclusion: Intra-lesional injection of TCA 10% is a safe, simple, and effective treatment in patients with conjunctival inclusion cysts including ophthalmic cases and anophthalmic cases, both in adults and in children. This concentration may avoid ocular surface complications.
