OBJECTIVE: To describe plateau iris syndrome associated with multiple
neuroepithelial cysts of the pars plicata. METHODS: Case reports of 3
patients with plateau iris syndrome who were found to have multiple
bilateral ciliary body cysts on ultrasound biomicroscopic examination.
RESULTS: Ultrasound biomicroscopy revealed classic features of plateau iris
syndrome in each patient but also showed multiple neuroepithelial cysts of
the ciliary body in each eye. CONCLUSION: Plateau iris syndrome may be
associated with multiple ciliary body cysts.
