ABSTRACT
CASO CLÍNICO: Una mujer de 45 años sin antecedentes oftalmológicos conocidos consultó por ojo izquierdo rojo y doloroso con disminución de la agudeza visual (AV) de 3 semanas de evolución. Se localizó un quiste iridiano estromal seroso adyacente a leucoma corneal mediante biomicroscopía ultrasónica. Se orientó como secundario a traumatismo penetrante en la infancia. Tras punción-aspiración con aguja fina (PAAF) y sinequiolisis posterior parcial se resolvió el quiste y mejoró la AV. DISCUSIÓN: Los quistes iridianos de inclusión pueden aparecer muchos años después de un traumatismo penetrante o cirugía. La PAAF es una buena opción para su diagnóstico y tratamiento
CLINICAL CASE: A 45 year-old woman with unknown ophthalmology history complained of pain, redness and visual acuity (VA) loss in her left eye for the last three weeks. A serous iris cyst with an overlying peripheral corneal leukoma was located in the iris stroma using ultrasonic biomicroscopy. It was assumed that it was secondary to a penetrating trauma from her childhood. The cyst healed and VA improved after fine-needle aspiration and partial posterior synechiolysis. Discussion: Iris inclusion cysts may appear many years after penetrating trauma or surgery. Fine-needle aspiration is a good choice for its diagnosis and treatment
