ABSTRACT
Purpose:
To present a novel technique utilizing fibrin glue-assisted adhesion as adjuvant to fine needle aspiration for management of post-surgical peripheral iris stromal cyst. Observations A 61 year-old male presented with a 4.20 × 7.56 × 8.22 mm well-circumscribed, fluid-filled peripheral cystic lesion involving the central visual axis with local posterior displacement of the intraocular lens. Surgical drainage was performed with the adjuvant use of fibrin glue to enhance the annealing of cyst walls. The patient tolerated the procedure without significant complications. At final post-operative visit, vision improved to 20/30 and there was no recurrence of the cyst. Conclusions and importance To our knowledge, this is the first report describing the use of fibrin glue to successfully treat a post-surgical peripheral iris stromal cyst. Fibrin glue may serve as an effective alternative to ethanol and sclerosing agents in the management of iris cysts.
