Abstract

Free-floating, pigmented vitreous cysts were documented in two patients. In a 15-year-old girl with intermittent symptoms, a 2.4-mm cyst was observed; origin was attributed to prior trauma, and clinical observation was pursued. In a 35-year-old woman with progressive symptoms, a 11.5-mm cyst was observed; origin was attributed to a history of multiple ocular surgical interventions, and surgical excision by pars plana vitrectomy was performed.
