Recent evidence suggests that scarring or obstruction of the lacrimal ducts may lead to their dilatation and formation of a cystic structure. Patients who undergo repeated orbital surgery may therefore be at greater risk of dacryops formation. In this report, a patient who underwent multiple corneal and glaucoma procedures including Boston type II keratoprosthesis, after acid burns to both eyes, is described. Over time, a fluid-filled collection developed in the lower orbit. On surgical exploration and incision, fluid was drained from a cystic lesion which abutted the lacrimal gland and spanned the upper and lower orbits. The lesion was removed and was proven by histopathology and immunohistochemistry to be dacryops. This is the first known case of dacryops associated with Boston type II keratoprosthesis.}, keywords = {Bioartificial Organs, Burns, Chemical, Cornea, Corneal Diseases, Cysts, Drainage, Eye Burns, Humans, Lacrimal Apparatus Diseases, Male, Middle Aged, Prosthesis Implantation, Tomography, X-Ray Computed, Visual Acuity}, issn = {1537-2677}, doi = {10.1097/IOP.0b013e31829d0270}, author = {Gonzalez-Saldivar, Gerardo and Lee, N Grace and Chodosh, James and Freitag, Suzanne K and Stacy, Rebecca C} }
