Abstract:
A 37-year-old patient visited the clinic with driness of eyes and 3 brown colored free-floating cyst was found in his right anterior chamber incidentally. Bilateral ciliary body cyst were also detected by ultrasound biomicroscopy. Stool examination was positive for Metagonimus yokogawai. The cyst was removed through clear cornea incision.
