Purpose:
To describe the spontaneous collapse of primary acquired iris stromal cysts.
Methods:
We reviewed the medical records, clinical findings, and ultrasonography of two patients who had been followed up for primary acquired iris stromal cysts.
Results:
During follow-up, both patients experienced spontaneous collapse of their cysts, which resulted in membrane formation on the peripheral corneal endothelium, localized peripheral anterior synechiae, ectropion uveae, and slightly peaked pupil.
Conclusion:
Primary acquired iris stromal cysts may undergo spontaneous collapse, resulting in clinical findings similar to other anterior segment disorders.
