[5][6][7] Shields had postulated that epithelial cysts arise between the pigmented epithelial layers of the iris and often break free and migrate into the vitreous chamber and these are called dislodged cysts.…”

Surgical Therapy for Idiopathic Pigmented Intravitreal Cyst

“…They are not associated with concomitant or previous eye pathology. Acquired cysts may be due to ocular trauma, inflammatory diseases such as toxoplasmosis [3] or intermediate uveitis [4]. They can also be associated with degenerative diseases of the retina and choroid, such as high myopia with uveal coloboma [5] and retinal detachment [6].…”

Asymptomatic free-floating vitreous cyst masquerading as cysticercosis

“…Vitreous cysts can be either congenital or acquired and are commonly seen in the first or second decades of life. While congenital vitreous cysts are not associated with underlying ocular pathology, acquired cysts have been reported in various ocular conditions like high myopia, degenerative retinal and choroidal pathologies,2 ocular trauma and inflammatory conditions like intermediate uveitis3 and Toxoplasmosis 4. Herein, we report a case of asymptomatic free-floating vitreous cyst, which was misdiagnosed as cysticercosis.…”
