A 9-year-old child presented with left eye corneal opacity for 5 months followed by trauma with plastic stick. There was greyish white opacity (Fig 1A), which seemed to be a fluid collection with in the well-defined anterior and posterior wall (yellow arrow), confirmed with anterior segment OCT (Fig 1B).
