Bilateral Iris Mamillations with Anterior Uveitis and Left-Sided Secondary Ocular Hypertension

A 30-year-old male presented with redness, watering, and pain in both eyes (OU) for 25 days and decreased vision for 1 week. His vision was 20/60 (OU), improving to 20/30 on pinhole examination. Anterior segment examination revealed bilateral iris mamillations (OS>OD), and anterior chamber cells 2+ and flare 1+ suggesting anterior uveitis OU [Figure 1a and b]. Intra-ocular pressures were 8 mm Hg (OD) and 35 mm Hg (OS). Posterior segment examination showed a healthy disc and macula OU.

Abstract

A 30-year-old male presented with redness, watering, and pain in both eyes (OU) for 25 days and decreased vision for 1 week. His vision was 20/60 (OU), improving to 20/30 on pinhole examination. Anterior segment examination revealed bilateral iris mamillations (OS>OD), and anterior chamber cells 2+ and flare 1+ suggesting anterior uveitis OU [Figure 1a and b]. Intra-ocular pressures were 8 mm Hg (OD) and 35 mm Hg (OS). Posterior segment examination showed a healthy disc and macula OU. Iris mamillations are mostly unilateral but bilateral cases have also been reported rarely.[1,2] Systemic findings were normal. Patient showed improvement at 1 week after being treated with topical steroids and cycloplegic. We report a rare case of bilateral iris mamillations and anterior uveitis with secondary ocular hypertension OS.Figure 1: (a and b) Slit lamp photograph of pigmented iris mamillation in both eyesDeclaration of patient consent The authors certify that they have obtained all appropriate patient consent forms.
