Sympathetic Ophthalmia
نویسنده
چکیده
Sympathetic ophthalmia (SO) is a rare bilateral, diffuse granulomatous panuveitis that occurs following penetrating trauma or intraocular surgery to one eye, the exciting eye. The fellow non-traumatized sympathizing eye also shows similar inflammatory response usually with mutton-fat KPs suggesting involvement of autoimmune response [1]. Though the time from ocular injury to onset of SO was said to vary greatly, ranging from a few days to fifty years with 90% of the cases occurring within 1 year [2-5], recent series showed that only one-third of patients developed SO within 3 months and fewer than 50% did so within 1 year of injury [6].
