Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Vascular Malformations
  • Ocular Oncology

Background:

  • Iris varix is a rare vascular lesion of the iris.
  • Solitary primary iris varix is exceptionally uncommon.
  • Vascular lesions can present diagnostic challenges in ophthalmology.

Observation:

  • A 31-year-old Indian man presented with a solitary iris varix.
  • The patient experienced recurrent intraocular hemorrhages into the anterior chamber.
  • These hemorrhages resulted in the development of secondary glaucoma.

Findings:

  • Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of iris varix.
  • Surgical excision (iridectomy) was performed.
  • The patient remained recurrence-free for 3 years post-surgery.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing iris varix.
  • Complete excision can prevent complications like secondary glaucoma.
  • This case highlights the importance of considering rare vascular lesions in the differential diagnosis of iris abnormalities.
