Titel	Expanding horizons: a novel and promising role for glaucoma drainage devices in the management of recurring iris cysts

Doel	Epithelial inclusion cysts of the iris are a rare complication following ocular surgery or trauma and typically exhibit a more aggressive course than primary iris cysts. Their management remains challenging due to their tendency for rapid growth, which can lead to obscuration of the visual axis, elevated intraocular pressure, corneal decompensation, and secondary glaucoma or uveitis. Particularly in pediatric and young adult patients, the high proliferative capacity of epithelial cells increases the risk of recurrence. Current treatment modalities, including Nd:YAG laser cyst disruption, sclerosing agent irrigation, and complete surgical excision, are associated with high recurrence rates.
Methodes	In this case series, we describe two patients with a posttraumatic recurrent iris cysts emerged in childhood, successfully managed with glaucoma drainage devices (Baerveldt tube and Paul tube) to provide continuous cyst fluid drainage.
Resultaten	In both cases, placement of the drainage device successfully controlled cystic growth and maintained the cyst outside of the visual axis. One patient experienced transient diplopia, which resolved spontaneously. The second case was complicated by scleral perforation at the surgical site following additional mechanical trauma but demonstrated a favorable outcome after surgical repair.
Conclusie	These cases illustrate the potential role of glaucoma drainage devices as an alternative treatment strategy for recurrent iris cysts, particularly when conventional therapies hav
