[Recurrent iritis caused by persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous body with pseudophakia lipomatosa].
In a 27-year-old patient a microphthalmic eye with congenital cataract was enucleated because of persistent recurrent iridocyclitis with a secondary glaucoma. Histopathological examination has shown a lens shrunken up to the capsule and a retrolental typical fatty tissue (pseudophakia lipomatosa). Secondary angle closure glaucoma and chronic uveitis seem to be due to an untreated hypermature cataract. These findings and the clinical course are suggesting that the opaque lens and the persistent hyperplastic vitreous body should have been operated in order to avoid complications.
