PURPOSE: To report the therapeutic effects of @entity1068 ( @entity167 ) irrigation into @entity1539 ( @entity1539 ). STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective noncomparative interventional case series. @entity1 : 102 eyes of 102 @entity1 aged between 4 and 71 years with @entity1539 , with 4 months to 15 years follow-up. INTERVENTION: Under local or general anesthesia, cyst fluid was drained gently via a 27-gauge needle. Without changing the position of the needle, the syringe was replaced with one containing an equal amount of @entity167 to the drained cyst fluid, and @entity167 was gently irrigated into the cyst. The @entity167 was left inside until the cyst wall turned white (about one minute). The @entity167 was aspirated and the needle removed. After the irrigation, @entity1 were treated with @entity3897 1% and @entity619 5 ml eye drops. RESULTS: Pretreatment findings suggest that the bases of all the cysts were connected either to incisions made during previous operations or to sites of laceration from penetrating @entity130 . Three types of cysts were identified: single in 88 @entity1 , double in 11 @entity1 , and triple in 3 @entity1 . The cyst wall contained keratic precipitates in three cases, and was vascularized in two cases. Of the 102 cases, 3 were excluded from the study because the @entity1539 was connected to the anterior chamber. Follow-up indicated that 93 cysts resolved after the first irrigation, 3 after the second irrigation and 2 after the third irrigation and 1 case did not respond after third irrigation. The cysts clinically shrank in 78 cases by 1 day after @entity167 irrigation and in 20 cases by 2 weeks after @entity167 irrigation. Anterior chamber reaction was observed the day after @entity167 irrigation in two cases, probably as a result of @entity167 leakage, and in nine cases without apparent @entity167 leakage. All were treated with @entity619 10 ml eye drop for 2 weeks. Intraocular pressure (IOP) normalized in 11 out of 21 cases who had IOP>20 mmHg before @entity167 irrigation. CONCLUSION: @entity1068 irrigation is a cost-effective and safe procedure, and we recommend consideration of the procedure for treatment of iris epithelial cysts.
