Spontaneous collapse of primary acquired iris stromal cysts.

PURPOSE

To describe the spontaneous collapse of primary acquired iris stromal cysts.

METHODS

We reviewed the medical records, clinical findings, and ultrasonography of two patients who had been followed up for primary acquired iris stromal cysts.

RESULTS

During follow-up, both patients experienced spontaneous collapse of their cysts, which resulted in membrane formation on the peripheral corneal endothelium, localized peripheral anterior synechiae, ectropion uveae, and slightly peaked pupil.

CONCLUSION

Primary acquired iris stromal cysts may undergo spontaneous collapse, resulting in clinical findings similar to other anterior segment disorders.
