Two cases of corneal cysts are reported, one sclerocorneal and the other intracorneal. The presence of a corneal cyst is a rare clinical condition.Most of the corneal cysts have a scleral component from where they actually originate
First case(12 years) had small scleral cyst at the superonasal quadrant beginning at 2 mm from the limbus & invading the cornea for a further 2 mm at the level of mid-stroma with overlying epithelium clear.The remaining cornea was normal, but faint scarring at the level of Bowman’s membrane surrounded the corneal extension. Gonioscopy revealed a normal angle, and examination of the rest of the eye showed no abnormality. The anterior wall was removed surgically to the largest possible extent and the remaining portion was cauterised. The nasal part of the cornea was left, using the epithelial lining of the cyst as the covering layer.
Second case(8 years) had history of local injury, it involved purely cornea in the centre pre descemets level confirmed on OCT.
