Description
Summary:PurposeTo describe a case of bilateral acute iris transillumination (BAIT) with no history of systemic infections or antibiotics intake before the attack. MethodsThis study included the review of the clinical record of the patient. ResultsA 29-year-old male was referred to the glaucoma clinic with presumed bilateral acute iridocyclitis with refractory glaucoma. Ophthalmic examination revealed bilateral pigment dispersion, marked iris transillumination, dense pigment deposition in the iridocorneal angle, and high intraocular pressure. The patient was diagnosed with BAIT and was followed for 5 months. ConclusionThe diagnosis of BAIT can be elicited even without a prior history of systemic infection or antibiotics intake.
