  • Title: Posterior form sympathetic ophthalmia.
    Author: McPherson SD, Dalton HT.
    Journal: Trans Am Ophthalmol Soc; 1975; 73():251-63. PubMed ID: 1246807.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of posterior form sympathetic ophthalmia are presented. The histologic abnormalities in one of them are described. Based on findings in these two cases and other descriptions of posterior form sympathetic ophthalmia in the literature, the authors conclude that except for absence of anterior uveal tract involvement, there is no histopathologic difference between posterior form sympathetic ophthalmia and classical sympathetic ophthalmia. Although there is disagreement in the literature, the authors also conclude that the therapy and prognosis of posterior form sympathetic ophthalmia does not differ from that of classical sympathetic ophthalmia.
