Abstract
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.
