Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Vascular Lesions

Background:

  • Iris varices are uncommon vascular malformations of the iris.
  • Pseudoexfoliation syndrome can affect ocular structures, including iris vasculature.

Observation:

  • A 76-year-old woman presented with a hyphema caused by a prominent, blood-filled iris varix.
  • Slit lamp examination revealed a smooth, round lesion with surrounding hemorrhage.
  • Anterior chamber flare was mildly elevated, and iris angiography showed a unique hyperfluorescent pattern.

Findings:

  • The iris varix demonstrated complete regression over a two-month follow-up period.
  • Bilateral pseudoexfoliation syndrome was noted concurrently.
  • The case highlights the association between iris varices and pseudoexfoliation.

Implications:

  • Iris varices, though rare, are an important consideration in the differential diagnosis of iris lesions.
  • Understanding potential etiological factors, such as vascular changes in pseudoexfoliation, is crucial.
  • This case contributes to the limited literature on iris varices and their management.
