Abstract
Epithelial ingrowth of the bleb cavity, a true Tenon cyst, is a rare compli cation of a glaucoma drainage implant. Previous cases have been associated with persistent bleb leak, and most have occurred in eyes with prior extrao cular surgery. We describe a case of a true Tenon cyst causing strabismus a nd an elevated intraocular pressure that was successfully treated by surgic al revision.
