“…Despite the lack of clinical change after 10 months of follow-up in the case described in this report, other studies have shown that there could be spontaneous resolution over time (3,5) . The differential diagnosis of BADI includes Fuchs heterochromic uveitis, herpetic iridocyclitis, pigment dispersion syndrome, and pseudoexfoliation syndrome (6) .…”

“…The largest published case series of BADI enrolled 26 patients and revealed a previous history of upper respiratory tract infection in 35.8% (5) . The authors also suggested an association of BADI with cy tomegalovirus infection (5) . Another study suggested a possible rel a tionship with the herpes simplex virus and varicella zoster virus (1) .…”

“…Although BADI is not usually associated with atrophy of the iris pigmented epithelium, pigment dispersion in the anterior chamber and pigment deposition in the trabecular meshwork have been reported. The prognosis is generally good and repigmentation can occur spontaneously (3)(4)(5) . Here we describe a case of BADI and discuss its main clinical aspects and differential diagnosis.…”

Bilateral acute depigmentation of the iris (BADI) is a new clinical entity of unknown etiology and is characterized by bilateral, symmetrical, and simultaneous depigmentation of the iris with focal or diffuse stromal atrophy; this condition generally has a good prognosis. We present a case of a 26-year-old woman who noted a spontaneous change in the iris color in both eyes in the last 2 months. The oph thal mological findings were atrophy of the iris stroma and pigmentation of the trabecular meshwork, without affecting the pigmented epithelium of the iris. Her intraocular pressure was normal and the visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes.
