Small mucoceles can be removed completely with the
marginal glandular tissue before suture. In the case of
larger mucoceles, marsupialization would avoid damage
to vital structures. Clinically there is no difference between
both types of mucocele, and are therefore treated
in the same manner. Nevertheless when an obstruction
of retention mucoceles is detected treatment involves the
removing the top of the cyst and introducing a lacrimal
catheter into the duct to dilate it (3).
