Fibrin glue-assisted excision of a large recurrent microphthalmic cyst.

Microphthalmic cysts are rare. Although small cysts can be left in situ to promote orbital expansion, large cysts require drainage or surgical excision. Complete surgical excision is notoriously difficult, and incomplete excision may result in cyst reformation. We describe a novel method of using fibrin glue to aid successful complete removal of a large recurrent microphthalmic cyst in a 6-year-old child who previously had multiple drainage and surgical attempts.
