A rare nonpigmented iris cyst developed spontaneously in a young woman, later requiring surgical removal due to vision impairment. Histological analysis suggests a neuroectodermal origin, likely from the nonpigmented ciliary epithelium.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Histopathology

Background:

Nonpigmented iris cysts are rare ocular conditions with debated etiology and tissue origin.
Understanding the pathogenesis is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Observation:

A histologically confirmed nonpigmented iris cyst presented in a 22-year-old woman.
The cyst enlarged over 14 years, significantly compromising visual acuity.
Surgical excision was performed due to the cyst's progression and impact on vision.

Findings:

Histological characteristics and late-onset presentation support a spontaneous origin.
The cyst's origin is hypothesized to be from the neuroectodermal tissue, specifically the nonpigmented ciliary epithelium.
Review of clinical characteristics and treatment options for such iris cysts.

Implications:

This case contributes to the understanding of rare iris cyst etiology.
Highlights the importance of considering neuroectodermal origin in nonpigmented iris cysts.
Informs clinical management strategies for visually compromising iris cysts.
