  • Title: Sympathetic ophthalmia following evisceration: a rare case.
    Author: Griepentrog GJ, Lucarelli MJ, Albert DM, Nork TM.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg; 2005 Jul; 21(4):316-8. PubMed ID: 16052152.
    Abstract:
    We describe a case of sympathetic ophthalmia following evisceration of a blind, painful, posttraumatic, glaucomatous eye. Although rare, this complication has been reported previously in the literature. We provide a brief review of sympathetic ophthalmia following evisceration and discuss the importance of a high degree of clinical suspicion and prompt treatment with high-dose systemic corticosteroids or other immunomodulators.
