Idiopathic opacification of Berger's space.
We report a case of idiopathic opacification of Berger's space in a 68-year-old man. The opacification was in the retrolental space between the crystalline lens and the anterior vitreous in the right eye. Opaque fluid was surgically removed, and chemical analysis detected a high concentration of protein and a low concentration of mucopolysaccharides. No underlying pathology was observed.
