A Case of Pupillary Ruff Detachment

Abstract

A 57-year-old man presented for routine eye examination with best corrected visual acuity of 20/20 in both eyes. Slit-lamp examination of his right eye revealed a brown thread-like structure hanging from the pupillary margin into the anterior chamber (Fig A-B) and loss of pupillary ruff on the medial margin of pupil (arrows), suggestive of pupillary ruff detachment. Anterior segment of left eye was found to be normal. He denied any ocular trauma. Patient was asymptomatic and hence required no intervention (Magnified version of Fig A-B is available online at www.aaojournal.org).
