Iridoschisis: Spectrum of Presentation.

PURPOSE

The purpose of the study was to report a small case series of patients with iridoschisis seen at our hospital over a period of 5 years.

METHODS

Retrospective review of all those files over the past 5 years whereby the diagnosis of iridoschisis/iris atrophy/iris fibrils in anterior chamber (AC) was made.

RESULTS

In our case series, the average age at presentation was 49 years (range: 23-85 years). The pathology was bilateral in 57% of patients in our series. Our most common presentations were angle closure glaucoma and cataract. Younger individuals can also manifest iridoschisis.

CONCLUSION

The iridoschisis can be an incidental finding, and gonioscopy should be performed in all the cases, as occludable or synechiael angle closure may be present in these cases.
