TitrePrimary vitreous cysts: two case reports
ButTo report two cases of primary vitreous cysts with discussion of their pathophysiology and management.
MéthodesClinical examination with fundus photography, ultrasound and optical coherence tomography. Histopathology was performed in the first case.
RésultatsThe first case illustrates a pigmented, free-floating cyst, which was removed during a 27g vitrectomy. Histopathology shows a single layer of pigmented epithelium and confirms the previously reported presence of a PAS-positive basement membrane. The second case shows a sessile, non-pigmented cyst associated with significant anisometropia.
ConclusionPrimary vitreous cysts are rare and can have a wide range in their clinical aspect. This likely reflects whether they originate either from the pigment epithelium or the primary hyaloidal system. Management of vitreous cysts is mostly conservative, but pars plana vitrectomy can be used safely, if the symptoms are debilitating.
