Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: To describe plateau iris syndrome associated with multiple neuroepithelial cysts of the pars plicata. METHODS: Case reports of 3 patients with plateau iris syndrome who were found to have multiple bilateral ciliary body cysts on ultrasound biomicroscopic examination. RESULTS: Ultrasound biomicroscopy revealed classic features of plateau iris syndrome in each patient but also showed multiple neuroepithelial cysts of the ciliary body in each eye. CONCLUSION: Plateau iris syndrome may be associated with multiple ciliary body cysts.
