Abstract:
Vitreous cysts represent uncommon ophthalmological conditions. Most patients are asymptomatic, but a minority may experience symptoms such as floaters or blurred vision. Here, we report the case of a 2-year-old girl who was incidentally found to have a vitreous cyst in her left eye during a routine outpatient clinic visit. The cyst was observed to move with eye movements, was pigmented, lobulated, and measured 3 mm in diameter. Our patient exhibited several systemic manifestations. We recommended regular follow-up through clinical examinations and monitoring of the cyst using B-scan ultrasound.
