abstract
This report highlighted that multiple surgery on the eyelid can lead to an acquired conjunctiva inclusion cyst. A 6-year-old healthy boy was referred to the oculoplastic department with a complaint of swelling over the right upper eyelid and cosmetic concerns following multiple complicated surgeries to the right upper eyelid. Under the oculoplastic team, a right eye ptosis repair with resuturing of the upper eyelid was done under general anesthesia. Intraoperatively, a conjunctival inclusion cyst measuring 1.5mm was excised subcutaneously with an intact capsule in the medial segment of the upper eyelid. Postoperatively, he still had ptosis with highbrow position and frontalis over action. However, his visual acuity improved from 6/9 to 6/6 on the right eye following a mild resolution of ptosis. Through this report, it is concluded that the complications of conjunctiva cyst following eyelid repair can be avoided with proper surgical technique during the primary repair.
