“…Idiopathic floating vitreous cysts giving rise to intermittent blurring of vision and visual field defects are a rare condition (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) . There were only few reports documenting clinical and histopathological features of such cysts and this is the first reported case in Brazil.…”

“…Também foi constatada a relação dos CV com traumas e inflamações oculares, embora não tenha sido comprovado que os cistos sejam consequência direta de traumas (5)(6) . Hipóteses como a origem infecciosa ou traumática do cisto no caso relatado são pouco prováveis, pois não houve história prévia de uveíte ou de trauma ocular.…”

“…O encontro de pedículos e outros tipos de adesão membranosa nestes cistos reforça a teoria de regressão incompleta de estruturas do vítreo primário e conexões com a vasculatura hialoidea (1,6) . Entretanto, a existência de cistos pigmentados levantou questionamentos sobre uma possível origem a partir dos processos ciliares ou do epitélio pigmentário iriano (7)(8) .…”

“…Entretanto, a existência de cistos pigmentados levantou questionamentos sobre uma possível origem a partir dos processos ciliares ou do epitélio pigmentário iriano (7)(8) . Estudos sobre análises histopatológicas dos CV podem ajudar no entendimento de sua origem (6)(7) . Alguns autores descreveram a histopatologia de um cisto vítreo unilateral, atribuindo-lhe o diagnósti-co de coristoma cístico do sistema hialóideo primitivo (9) .…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
