[Essential atrophy of the iris apropos of 1 case]. 
The authors report a case of bilateral essential iris atrophy syndrome in a twenty two years old man associated with unilateral cataract and glaucoma.  They stress the rarity of the syndrome (first case in their section) and the uncommon bilateral case.  The cataract unusually described in the syndrome would be directly linked to the important and durable ocular hypertension.
