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 fin dings, and ultrasonography of two patients who had been followed up fo r primary acquired iris stromal cysts. RESULTS: During follow-up, both patients experienced spontaneous collapse of their cysts, which resul ted in membrane formation on the peripheral corneal endothelium, local ized peripheral anterior synechiae, ectropion uveae, and slightly peak ed pupil. CONCLUSION: Primary acquired iris stromal cysts may undergo spontaneous collapse, resulting in clinical findings similar to other anterior segment disorders.
