Summary:

Purpose. To present the own experience in iris cyst treatment. Materials and Methods. In this retrospective study 20 eyes with iris cysts were included. Lesions were managed with intracystic ethanol irrigation with and without subsequent surgical resection of the walls. Results. Complete iris cyst destruction was achieved in 16 cases. In 4 eyes cyst recurrence after ethanol irrigation was revealed and successfully treated by ethanol irrigation without subsequent surgical resection of the walls. No complications were seen within mean follow-up of 26 months. Conclusion. Intracystic ethanol irrigation is an effective treatment modality. Additional surgical resection of the cyst walls helps to improve treatment results with no signs of recurrences and complications.
