Spontaneous Nonpigmented Iris Cyst

Don’t it make my blue eyes brown: heterochromia and other abnormalities of the iris

“…163 Histologically, primary iris stromal cysts are lined with a multi-layered squamous or cuboidal epithelium, which may or may not contain mucin-secreting goblet cells. 138,139,142,163,[168][169][170]173,174,178,179 Occasionally, focal keratinisation of the epithelial lining has been observed. 170,180 Immunohistochemical studies have demonstrated a positive reaction for epithelial cytokeratin markers and a negative result for the S100 antigen.…”

Iris Cyst in Aphakic Patient: Improvement of Visual Acuity after Excision

“…The surgical procedures reported in the literature are many and complex; functional results are quite unsatisfac tory, allowing a maximum recovery of visual acuity of 20/25 [3,6,8,9], Just to mention them we have: needle aspiration of the cyst contents, marsupialization, electrolysis cyst ther-…”

Ab externo laser photocoagulation for the treatment of spontaneous iris stromal cyst

“…Most patients require surgical intervention due to its progressive growth obstructing the visual axis resulting in poor vision from amblyopia or secondary glaucoma. Different treatment modalities have been previously reported but recurrences and unfavorable visual outcomes after treatment were common [2,5,6]. Here we describe a patient who was successfully treated with a minimally invasive technique using needle aspiration combined with transcorneal diode photocoagulation.…”

“…Previously reported treatment modalities include sector iridectomy, local excision with microdiathermy, simple aspiration, aspiration with cryotherapy, and injection of chemical substances [2,5,6]. Treatment with laser has been reported in few patients using the Nd:YAG laser for cystotomy, which can cause an inflammatory reaction in the anterior chamber or ab interno laser, which requires a corneal incision to apply the laser probe intracamerally [7].…”
