The entire cyst must be excised to avoid persistent inflammation, a draining sinus, or recurrence of the cyst. The goals of pharmacotherapy are to reduce morbidity and to prevent complications. Corticosteroids modify the body's immune response to diverse stimuli. May decrease inflammation by reversing increased capillary permeability and suppressing PMN activity. If the cyst ruptures, a marked inflammatory response follows.
Operative complications are no different from other orbitotomy procedures.
Damage to the eye or adnexal structures, motility restriction, infection, inflammation, and hemorrhage may occur. The dermoid cyst may displace the globe, depending on the cyst's location. If they are excised completely, usually only a minimal scar occurs. If they are observed rather than excised, slow growth can be expected. Temporal-zygomatic suture line on the lateral orbital wall.
