Abstract
We present an uncommon case of a post-traumatic iris cyst following blunt trauma with secondary glaucoma. A 19-yr-old male presented with hyphaema and redness in the right eye. Slit-lamp examination and ultrasound biomicroscopy were consistent with an inferior iris cyst. Intraocular pressure was raised, and angle recession was present in the nasal quadrant on gonioscopy which made us probe for blunt trauma history, which was present. With no other causative history or signs and ruling out ciliary body tumor using imaging, we made our diagnosis. Pressures were reduced with antiglaucoma medication. Though uncommon, blunt trauma should be considered as a cause after ruling out other causes, especially malignancy.
