Abstract
Case report

We report a case of a 12-year-old patient who complained about visual disturbances in left eye for 6 months. His visual acuity was 1/0.9, funduscopy in left eye revealed a free-floating cyst in the anterior vitreous. Magnetic resonance showed a low intense image in T1, and B-scan ultrasound confirmed a hypoechogenic cyst of 3.2mm×4.3mm; ultrasound biomicroscopy revealed a normal ciliary body.

Conclusion

Given the good VA the patient will be monitored periodically. If the cyst interferes with visual axis, management with Nd:YAG or argon laser photocystotomy or removing it by pars plana vitrectomy has been advocated.

Resumen

Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 12 años que refiere miodesopsias en ojo izquierdo (OI) de 6 meses de evolución. Presenta una agudeza visual de 1/0,9, en fondo de ojo izquierdo un quiste vítreo anterior. En la resonancia magnética, imagen hipointensa en T1 y en la ecografía modo B, lesión hipoecoica de 3,2×4,3mm; la biomicroscopía ultrasónica evidenció un cuerpo ciliar normal.

Conclusión

Dada la buena AV del paciente se observará periódicamente. Si interfiriese con el eje visual es posible fragmentarlo con láser Nd:YAG o Argón, o bien su extracción vía pars plana.
