Resumen
MORENO-LOPEZ, M.; ARRUABARRENA, C.; REGUERAS, A. y NOVAL, S.. Conservative surgical management of a post-traumatic iris cyst. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2007, vol.82, n.7, pp.455-457. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case report: A 32-year-old man with recent visual loss in his right eye, was found to have an iris cyst involving about 50% of the anterior chamber. He had been treated three years previously for a penetrating injury to that eye. The cyst was treated by aspiration, viscodissection and ab-externo photocoagulation, with this achieving a rapid recovery of vision and good anatomic results. At the six month follow-up visit the visual acuity remains stable with no signs of recurrence of the cyst. Discussion: Conservative surgical treatment consisting of aspiration, viscodissection and photocoagulation appears to be an effective strategy to manage secondary anterior chamber cysts, achieving good anatomic and functional results.
