Cystic eyeball is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of a cyst in the eyeball. This condition is often associated with other ocular and systemic abnormalities.
Etiology[edit]
The exact cause of cystic eyeball is unknown. However, it is believed to be due to a developmental defect during the embryonic stage of life. Some researchers suggest that it may be related to genetic factors, but this has not been definitively proven.
Clinical Features[edit]
Patients with cystic eyeball typically present with a visible cyst in the eye. The cyst may be filled with fluid or solid material. Other symptoms may include vision loss, pain, and inflammation. In some cases, the condition may be asymptomatic and discovered incidentally during an eye examination.
Diagnosis[edit]
Diagnosis of cystic eyeball is primarily based on clinical examination and imaging studies. Ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to visualize the cyst and assess its size, location, and contents.
Treatment[edit]
Treatment of cystic eyeball depends on the size and location of the cyst, as well as the presence of any associated symptoms. In some cases, no treatment may be necessary. If the cyst is causing symptoms or threatening vision, surgical removal may be recommended.
Prognosis[edit]
The prognosis for patients with cystic eyeball varies depending on the size and location of the cyst, as well as the presence of any associated ocular or systemic abnormalities. With appropriate treatment, most patients can achieve good visual outcomes.
