A traumatic cyst of the sclera.

The author describes a traumatic implantation cyst of the sclera which developed about two years after an injury with a knife, which caused a perforating scleral wound. The wound was sutured with the operating microscope. The possible mechanisms of the development of this cyst are discussed. Ophthalmologists should still bear in mind the possibility of the development of cysts of the sclera after injuries, which are rare complication nowadays.
