Bilateral multiple iridociliary cysts causing secondary pigment dispersion.

Abstract

Primary epithelial iris cysts are benign innocuous lesions, which are mostly bilateral and asymptomatic in nature. They can lead to creeping angle closure, when the angle progressively narrows due to age-associated changes. This photoessay, herewith, signifies the dual importance of identifying minute bumpy elevations in the iris by a thorough slit lamp examination as well as the use of ultrasound biomicroscopy in patients presenting with creeping angle closure, frequently misdiagnosed in the primary angle closure disease spectrum.
