Abstract

Epithelial inclusion cysts (EIC) are a rare ocular disease and its physiopathology is not well-known. They consist on growths of ocular surface epithelial cells inside the anterior segment of the eye in the form of a cyst. To date several cases have been published in the literature, none of them related to glaucoma surgery. We describe two cases of EIC after glaucoma devices implantation. An 86 year-old male patient with primary open angle glaucoma develop an EIC in right eye three years after removal of PRESERFLO™MicroShunt (Santen, Osaka, Japan) and a 9 year-old female patient with glaucoma secondary to uveitis for juvenile idiopathic arthritis develops an EIC under the tube of an Ahmed valve implant during postoperative period. EIC develop after ocular penetrating wounds and an inflammatory stimulus. They are benign proliferations, follow-up is necessary to detect space complications early, so less mutilating surgery is needed for removal.
