Scleral cyst keeps returning

Scleral cyst keeps returning

6 year old had a cyst appear 1 year ago - her pediatrician stated these usually came due to injury and would go away. Well after waiting 1 year, and 5 Dr's later, the cyst did not go away, it actually continued to grow. The 6 yr old insists there has been no injury to eye, confirmed by mother,grandfather, father and teachers at school.

We recently just went through our 2nd eye surgery - the first was a marsupial cut and sterilization of the cysts which were then stiched and left to heal - 1 month to the surgery date, the cysts returned.

Our 2nd surgery 2 months later was a quad-cryo/thaw proceedure.  Within 2 weeks, the cysts have returned.

Has anyone seen anything like this. We are at a loss as to why the cysts keep returning.
Thoughts?
