Abstract
An 8-year-old male child who underwent an anterior approach left upper lid levator resection to correct congenital ptosis. After 6 months, he developed mechanical ptosis secondary to a painless cystic mass on his upper lid. Magnetic resonance proved a postseptal circumscribed cystic mass. The lesion was excised and a histopathology examination confirmed a conjunctival inclusion cyst (CIC). CIC is common benign lesions of conjunctiva but rarely detected as a complication of levator muscle surgery.
