ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The diagnosis of angle-closure glaucoma secondary to iridociliary cysts is challenging and lacks compiled literature support. We present a rare case of bilateral angle-closure glaucoma associated with pseudoplateau iris due to multiple ciliary cysts and conducted a systematic review of the literature to find similar case reports published between November 2006 and November 2016. Only 19 case reports present treatment modalities, and most cases required more than one therapeutic approach for controlling the intraocular pressure. Pseudoplateau iris attributed to iridociliary cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with narrow angles, particularly those with ocular hypertension and glaucoma, in which management is complex. In addition to gonioscopy, ultrasound biomicroscopy is considered the conclusive method for accurate diagnosis.
RESUMO O diagnóstico de glaucoma de ângulo fechado secundário a cistos iridociliares é desafiador e não possui suporte da literatura compilada. Apresentamos um caso bilateral raro de glaucoma de ângulo fechado associado à íris pseudoplateau devido a cistos ciliares múltiplos e realizamos uma revisão sistemática da literatura de relatos de casos similares publicados entre novembro de 2006 e novembro de 2016. Apenas 19 relatos de casos apresentaram as modalidades de tratamento e na maioria deles foi necessário mais de uma abordagem terapêutica para controlar a pressão intra-ocular. Íris pseudoplateau atribuída a cistos iridociliários deve ser considerada no diagnóstico diferencial de pacientes com ângulos estreitos, particularmente aqueles com hipertensão ocular e glaucoma, em que o manejo é complexo. Além da go nioscopia, a biomicroscopia ultra-sônica é considerada o método conclusivo para o diagnóstico correto.

We report two cases clinically diagnosed as idiopathic uveal effusion syndrome, where indocyanine green angiogram suggest non-specific choroidal inflammation as the underlying cause. Treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs was beneficial.
