Pigmented free-floating vitreous cyst.
A 45-year-old man presented with a mobile shadow in the central visual field of his left eye for the preceding 4 months. His visual acuity was not affected. Funduscopy showed a brownish, oval-shaped structure floating in the vitreous cavity of the left eye. B-scan ultrasound demonstrated an oval-spherical hypoechogenic structure floating at the posterior pole. The absence of pertinent medical history and normal results from systemic exploration suggested a congenital etiology. The condition was observed regularly without any evidence of change. Differential diagnosis of vitreous cysts is important in order to establish an adequate therapeutic approach.
