Symptomatic familial primary iris cysts at the pupillary margin in three consecutive generations: A case series.

ABSTRACT:

Case series purpose

Iris cysts are uncommon lesions, most of them are iris pigment epithelial (IPE) cysts which typically manifest in adults as unilateral single cysts, are typically asymptomatic and rarely require treatment. The most frequent location of IPE cysts is the iris periphery and the iridociliary sulcus, whereas pupillary cysts are rare. This observational case series aims to describe a unique occurrence of bilateral pupillary IPE cysts in three consecutive generations of a single family.

Observations

The series describes eight patients of a single family with no consanguineous marriage. All patients have IPE cysts with remarkable abnormally-shaped pupils. The patients were examined at the slit-lamp and imaged with anterior segment optical coherence tomography. Th
