Summary: Vitreous cysts are a rare and mostly accidental finding. We report a case of a 4-year-old male without a relevant medical history who resorted to a routine ophthalmology consultation. On ophthalmological examination, he had a 6/10 (Snellen decimal scale) best corrected visual acuity in both eyes. Biomicroscopy showed a pigmented and rounded lesion (3 mm of larger diameter), located in the anterior vitreous of the left eye, that moved with eye movements. Besides this lesion and the shadow-effect it produced in the retina, there were no other changes in fundus examination. Associated inflammatory/infectious pathologies were excluded. At 6-month and 1-year follow-up, no new symptoms or morphological changes of the lesion were found. The etiology of vitreous cysts is diverse, requiring a thorough study and close follow-up in order to decide the most appropriate approach.

Apresentamos o caso de uma criança do sexo masculino, 4 anos, sem antecedentes de relevo, que recorreu à consulta de oftalmologia para rastreio ocular. Ao exame oftalmológico apresentava uma melhor acuidade visual corrigida de 6/10 (escala decimal) em ambos os olhos e, à biomicroscopia, visualizava-se uma lesão pigmentada e arredondada no vítreo anterior do olho esquerda, com cerca de 3 milímetros de maior diâmetro, que se deslocava com os movimentos oculares. Além da lesão e da sombra que produzia na retina, não se observaram alterações na fundoscopia. Excluíram-se patologias sistémicas inflamatórias/infeciosas associadas. Aos 6 meses de seguimento não se constatou agravamento dos sintomas ou alterações morfológicas da lesão. A etiologia dos quistos vítreos é diversa, exigindo um estudo completo e seguimento apertado de forma a decidir a abordagem mais adequada.Ajnet2021-09-29T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/reporthttps://doi.org/10.48560/rspo.24727eng1646-69501646-6950Neves Cruz, CarlosBompastor Ramos, PaulaSousa, KeissyPinto, Christopheinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2022-09-22T17:06:16Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/24727Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T10:22:37.758734Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
