Pediatric intraoperative floppy iris syndrome associated with persistent pupillary membrane.

Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) occurring during cataract surgery in adults has been widely reported in association with tamsulosin and other α-1(a) adrenergic antagonists; however, only one case of pediatric IFIS has been previously reported and was associated with congenital cataract. We report a case of a 1-month old girl with IFIS associated with bilateral persistent pupillary membranes without cataracts and the use of preoperative topical phenylephrine and pilocarpine for IFIS prophylaxis.
