Abstract

Orbital conjunctival epithelial inclusion cysts are a rare complication of strabismus surgery. A subconjunctival cystic mass with translucent fluid is the most common presentation. The authors describe a case of an epithelial inclusion cyst presenting as an occult orbital mass during reoperation strabismus surgery almost 70 years after strabismus surgery.
