title: [Fine-needle aspiration in an extremely late post-traumatic iris cyst].
abstract: METHODS
  A 45 year-old woman with unknown ophthalmology history complained of pain, redness and visual acuity (VA) loss in her left eye for the last three weeks. A serous iris cyst with an overlying peripheral corneal leukoma was located in the iris stroma using ultrasonic biomicroscopy. It was assumed that it was secondary to a penetrating trauma from her childhood. The cyst healed and VA improved after fine-needle aspiration and partial posterior synechiolysis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Iris inclusion cysts may appear many years after penetrating trauma or surgery. Fine-needle aspiration is a good choice for its diagnosis and treatment.
