Abstract

Objective: To report on a patient with clear gelatinoid deposits on the iris and in the anterior chamber (AC). Design: Observational case report. Methods: Examination of AC aspirate and iris and conjunctival biopsies by light and transmission electron microscopy. Main Outcome Measures: Clinical and histopathological findings. Results: Analysis of the aqueous humor and iris ultrastructure disclosed the presence of urate deposits. Conclusions: Urate deposition in the iris and anterior chamber rarely occurs.
