Epithelial cysts associated with alloplastic implants after repair of orbital fractures: a systematic review and four new cases

An epithelial cyst is a rare and often late complication of long-term alloplastic implants, which has the potential to lead to further complications and harm to patients. We made a systematic review of papers published during the past 30 years about the mechanisms and clinical characteristics formation of epithelial cysts after repair of an orbital fracture by searching PubMed, Medline, and Web of Science to collect all related case reports and series published in the English language. We also made a retrospective review of casenotes of all patients diagnosed with orbital epithelial cysts in our department.
