Abstract EN
Aim.
To report on the use of indocyanine green (ICG) during surgical removal of pediatric orbital lacrimal duct cysts.
Method.
We conducted a retrospective review of our cases of surgical excision of orbital lacrimal duct cysts using intraoperative injection of indocyanine green (ICG), which was used following inadvertent cyst rupture and volume loss.
The dye allowed complete cyst visualization and complete excision despite volume loss or cyst rupture.
Results.
The study included 6 children (3 boys, mean age of 4.2 ± 0.84 years, range 3–5 years).
Mean follow-up period was 9.3 months.
All cysts were located in the inferonasal quadrant of the orbit (4 in the right side).
In all cases, ICG was injected into the cyst at the time of surgery following unintentional cyst rupture.
After the dye injection, it was easy to identify the borders of the cyst, permitting complete cyst removal, without any intra- or postoperative complications.
Pathological examination revealed that all cysts were of lacrimal duct origin.
Conclusion.
Intraoperative injection of ICG into orbital cysts in children can aid surgeons in identifying cyst borders following inadvertent rupture, allowing complete removal.
