Abstract

This is the first report of a ring-shaped, primary cyst of the iris pigment epithelium. The patient, a 28-year-old woman, presented with angle closure glaucoma. Ocular pressure was controlled medically, and the iris cyst was treated by argon laser photocoagulation. The derivation of the cyst, differential diagnosis, and mechanism of angle closure glaucoma are discussed.
