Wang B; Yao YChinese Ophthalmic Research 2009; 27: 345-348
Primary iris and ciliary body cysts are usually located in the iridociliary sulcus and pars plana, which are rarely in the routine ophthalmological examination. With the application of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM ) in ophthalmology,it found that there is a higher incidence of primary iris and ciliary body cysts in population than before, and researches reported some cysts can cause angle-closure glaucoma. However,there has been no standard classification and terminology on primary and ciliary body cysts yet. This review summarizes the epidemiology, histopathology, UBM findings, complication, diagnosis and of primary iris and ciliary body cysts. A new classification is also proposed in this entity. UBM plays an important role in and diagnosis of the cysts. Seldom study about the association of cysts with shallow anterior chamber and angle-closure was reported. LA: Chinese
