A rare iris stromal cyst caused lens luxation in an infant. Surgical excision was successful, with no recurrence or complications at 3-year follow-up, highlighting the importance of considering this diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Ophthalmology
  • Ophthalmic Pathology

Background:

  • Lens luxation in infants can be caused by various factors.
  • Iris stromal cysts are uncommon congenital anomalies.

Observation:

  • A 2-month-old infant presented with apparent lens luxation.
  • Intraoperative findings included an irregular iris and a large anterior chamber iris cyst.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of the iris cyst was performed.
  • Histopathology confirmed a stromal cyst of the iris.
  • No recurrence or secondary cataract was observed at 3-year follow-up.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering iris stromal cysts in the differential diagnosis of pediatric lens luxation.

  • Early diagnosis and surgical management can lead to favorable outcomes.
  • Further research into the etiology and management of iris stromal cysts is warranted.
