title: Laser treatment of giant iris cyst with nanophthalmos.
abstract: We report a case of a giant iris cyst treated with neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser cystotomy. A 33-year-old woman presented with nanophthalmos and ocular hypertension secondary to a giant iris cyst after congenital cataract surgery in the left eye. Examination with a rotating Scheimpflug camera and anterior-segment optical coherence tomography revealed a large iris cyst surrounding the pupillary region. She underwent laser iridocystotomy and irrigation of the anterior chamber. No recurrence of the iris cyst has been noted after 18 months and the IOP is normal. The cyst was treated successfully by laser cystotomy without other ocular tissue damage. Examination with a rotating Scheimpflug camera and anterior-segment optical coherence tomography proved to be simple and quick methods for assessing the iris cyst.
