Abstract Background Primary vitreous cyst is a clinical variant delineated by the existence of a vesicle within the vitreous cavity from birth. This particular disease tends to be uncommon, and the underlying mechanisms contributing to its pathogenesis remain obscure. Case presentation A 37-year-old male patient manifested blurry vision and floaters in his right eye, a symptomology first noticed three months prior. Upon slit-lamp examination, a pigmented, round, 1 papilla diameter-sized mass was discerned floating in the vitreous. A meticulous examination of the floaters was conducted using an array of multimodal imaging techniques. Other potential conditions, including cysticercosis, toxoplasmosis, and tumors, were conclusively excluded through comprehensive diagnostic tests such as blood examinations, liver ultrasound, and cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), resulting in the diagnosis of a primary vitreous cyst. The patient did not report any other discomforts and did not receive any subsequent interventions or treatments. Conclusion We furnish an exhaustive case report of a patient diagnosed with a primary vitreous cyst. The incorporation of multimodal images in the characterization of the disease anticipates facilitating an enriched comprehension by medical practitioners. |
