Long-term follow-up of 14 eyes with bilateral and multiple ciliary body cysts: Prognosis of this rare entity
Journal of Glaucoma Jan 16, 2021
Hugo J, Feumi C, Morin A, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective study to illustrate the long-term outcomes of eyes with bilateral and multiple ciliary body cysts (CBC). The sample consisted of patients with multiple and bilateral CBC diagnosed by high-resolution ultrasound biomicroscopy and followed by a single glaucoma specialist from 2000 to 2020. All individuals had complete ophthalmic examination including dynamic indentation gonioscopy, retinal nerve fiber layer measurement by optic coherence tomography and automated perimetry. Seven patients (14 eyes) with bilateral and multiple CBC were involved with a mean follow-up of 98 ± 39 months. The long-term cohort of bilateral and multiple CBC indicates that if LPI is performed before extension of peripheral anterior synechiae, this unusual entity may have a strong prognosis. In 75% of cases in the cohort with good visual results, trabeculectomy was needed for irreversible angle closure.
