Microscopic examination showed that 1 case had typical histological changes of sympatheticophthalmia.
2
After an alternative way of corticoid reduction was started, a relapse of sympatheticophthalmia occurred.
3
Conclusions: The incidence of sympatheticophthalmia is very low.
4
The manifestations of sympatheticophthalmia receded gradually.
5
Purpose: To summarize the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of sympatheticophthalmia caused by ocular penetration with endophthalmitis.
6
We report a rare finding of progressive subretinal fibrosis mimicking retinal necrosis in 2 cases of sympatheticophthalmia.
7
Methods: Retrospective analysis was done on clinical data of 3 cases of sympatheticophthalmia with ocular penetration and endophthalmitis.
8
Three months after the development of sympatheticophthalmia, using the treatment described, the uveal inflammation of both eyes receded.
9
Progression of inflammation and rapid deterioration of vision inspite of maximum immunosuppression are key findings in this variant of sympatheticophthalmia.
10
The authors give an account of a case of sympatheticophthalmia which was successfully managed by reoperation of the injured eye, corticoids and immunosuppressive drugs.
11
Investigators of sympatheticophthalmia and endophthalmitis phacoanaphylactica were positioned to invalidate horror autotoxicus but lacked sufficiently convincing experimental and clinical evidence to accomplish the task.
12
Sympatheticophthalmia developed after perforation of the cornea along with traumatic cataract one month following the accident.
13
Conclusion: Sympatheticophthalmia caused by ocular penetration with endophthalmitis is infrequent, but this situation should not be neglect.
