Abstract

Abstract Background Anterior scleral staphyloma is a relatively rare disease characterized by thinning and expansion of sclera. We described the clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of a case with giant anterior scleral staphyloma caused by blunt ocular trauma. Case presentation A 24-years-old male, presented with a black cyst-like mass protruding from the right eyeball for 9 years after a history of glass crush contusion. The ultrasound biomicroscopy examination showed two cysts in the right eyeball. The larger one was about 5.92 mm*4.69 mm in size and the scleral lacerations were connected to the posterior chamber below the cyst. For treatment, resection of the anterior scleral staphyloma and the scleral patch graft transplantation was performed. The vision of the patient was improved compared with that before surgery. There were no obvious complications. Conclusion The clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of the case with giant anterior scleral staphyloma can provide a reference for the management of anterior scleral staphyloma. Surgical resection and scleral patch graft should be a good option for the treatment of giant anterior scleral staphyloma.
