Resumen
FEITOSA DE SOUZA, C et al. Sympathetic ophthalmia post-vitrectomy following trauma and perfluorocarbon liquid tamponade. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2004, vol.79, n.11, pp.553-556. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case report: We report a case of sympathetic ophthalmia (SO) developed after blunt trauma and vitrectomy (complicated with a massive suprachoroidal hemorrhage) using perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) for tamponade. Discussion: The presentation of SO in a vitrectomized patient after severe blunt trauma with extended intra-ocular tamponade with PFCL could support the hypothesis that chronic inflammation caused by PFCL could have contributed to the development of SO. Nevertheless, there are other possible causal factors such as the trauma, the vitrectomy itself or the choroidal detachment with possible uveal incarceration at wound sites.
