Iris and ciliary body cysts constitute a significant diagnostic problem and are difficult to diagnose in routine practice on slit lamp or gonioscopy examination. The diagnosis must be established by ultrabiomicroscopy, which is not widely available, but represents the only technique capable of evaluating the anatomical relationships of the visualized ocular structures. Diagnosing ocular hypertension and pseudoplateau iris secondary to iridociliary cysts can be challenging for ophthalmologists, as it is rarely possible to perform a complete diagnostic workup. The authors of this article present a rare case of a patient with bilateral pseudoplateau iris and ocular hypertension associated with iridociliary cysts. In addition, various forms of intraocular pressure-regulating therapies recommended in treatment are reviewed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
