OBJECTIVES: The objective of our study was to review the current knowledge on the diagnosis and treatment options of plateau iris configuration and syndrome. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW METHODOLOGY: Relevant publications on plateau iris that were published until 2014. CONCLUSIONS: Plateau iris syndrome is a form of primary angle closure glaucoma caused by a large or anteriorly positioned ciliary body that leads to mechanical obstruction of trabecular meshwork. This condition is most often found in younger patients. Plateau iris has been considered an abnormal anatomic variant of the iris that can be diagnosed on ultrasound biomicroscopy or optical coherence tomography of anterior segment. Patients with plateau iris syndrome can be recognized by the lack of response in angle opening after iridotomy. The treatment of choice in these cases is argon laser peripheral iridoplasty.
