ABSTRACT
Caso clínico: Se presenta un caso de uveítis e hiperpigmentación iridiana unilateral por travoprost. Discusión: Se trata de un efecto secundario poco frecuente del travoprost que en este caso, por sus características, nos hizo pensar en una iridociclitis heterocrómica de Fuchs. Se realiza un diagnóstico diferencial de las heterocromías iridianas (AU)
Case report: A case of unilateral iridis hyperpigmentation and uveitis due to travoprost is presented. Discussion: Anterior uveitis is a rare side-effect of travoprost. In this case, heterochromic iris was also presented, which led us to the wrong diagnosis of a Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis. The differencial diagnosis along with the associated literature is discussed (AU)
