  • Title: [Optical coherence tomography aspects of sympathetic ophthalmia: case report].
    Author: Ferreira MA, Mendonça CN, Sá Filho WF, Neves AS.
    Journal: Arq Bras Oftalmol; 2009; 72(3):387-9. PubMed ID: 19668973.
    Abstract:
    The sympathetic ophthalmia is a granulomatous panuveitis that starts after ocular trauma. The prognosis is poor and depends of both early diagnosis and treatment. The authors describe one case of a patient with sympathetic ophthalmia using optical coherence tomography who was submitted to early treatment, and it suggests that the optical coherence tomography can corroborate as a ancillary method in the study of retina characteristics in sympathetic ophthalmia disease specially in cases of rare presentation, with serous retinal detachment as an isolated ophthalmological manifestation.
