<![CDATA[Secondary conjunctival inclusion cyst is most commonly caused by ocular surgery, inflammation, and penetrating trauma. Its occurrence following closed globe blunt injury remains rarely reported. This case report aims to describe a rare presentation of a secondary conjunctival inclusion cyst developing after closed-globe blunt trauma and its successful non?surgical management with corticosteroids. A 75-year-old female on antiplatelet therapy presented with blurred vision following blunt ocular trauma from a bicycle handlebar. Examination revealed grade I traumatic hyphema, severe subconjunctival haemorrhage, and intraocular pressure of 7.6 mmHg with a negative Seidel test. Two weeks later, a 9 × 6 mm translucent cystic nodule appeared at the superior bulbar conjunctiva. Secondary conjunctival inclusion cyst was diagnosed based on clinical morphology and temporal relationship to the trauma. Complete resolution of the cyst was achieved with systemic and topical corticosteroids alone, without surgical intervention. Conjunctival inclusion cyst is a rare but possible complication of closed-globe blunt trauma. In the early post-traumatic inflammatory phase, a trial of corticosteroid therapy may represent an effective non-surgical first-line option..]]>
