| Ultrasound biomicroscopy: cystic lesion in area of iris root/ ciliary process touching the lens (1.6 mm x 2.9 mm) Patient: 22 years of age, female, BCVA 1.0, IOP 16 mmHg. Main Complaint: no Ocular Medical History: by chance observation of an unpigmented iridal lesion in OS General Medical History: empty Findings: 1) Slit Lamp: solitary iris elevation in 2h position, no pigmentation. 2) Ultrasound biomicroscopy: cystic lesion in area of iris root/ ciliary process touching the lens (1.6 mm x 2.9 mm) Discussion: Ultrasound biomicroscopy is a valuable technique in diagnosing this condition. It was reported (1) that among a general physical check-up population, subjects with shallow anterior chambers (N=727), the prevalence of primary iris and/or ciliary body cysts in eyes with shallow anterior chamber was about 30%, judged by ultrasound biomicroscope (UBM). A significant higher proportion of the cysts were located at the iridociliary sulcus (80%). Literature: (1) Wang, BH; Yao, YF.
