Abstract:
A retrospective clinicopathologic review of 174 eyeball specimens which were enucleated following intra-ocular surgery was made. It was found that there were 7 cases of sympathetic ophthalmia (SO), of which 4 cases were associated with lens-induced ophthalmitis (LIO). The shortest latent period of SO in this series was 2 weeks. Pathologically, there was an unclosed eyeball caused by a poorly healed incision with incarceration of uvea tissue, besides the characteristics of SO. The results suggest that the poor healing of the incision made in intra-ocular surgery may be strongly correlated with SO.
