  • Title: Pseudophaco--anaphylactic endophthalmitis? P.M.M.A. related.
    Author: Mullaney J, Condon PI.
    Journal: Acta Ophthalmol Suppl (1985); 1985; 170():34-40. PubMed ID: 2992218.
    Abstract:
    The pathological findings of pseudophacoanaphylactic endophthalmitis are described in a patient with a combined trabeculectomy, extracapsular cataract extraction and an "in-the-bag" posterior chamber lens implant, and who developed sympathetic ophthalmitis following a perforating eye injury within hours of his operation. Apart from the typical sympathetic histological findings, the eye revealed a pseudophaco-anaphylactic endophthalmitis reaction which appeared to be totally related to the polymethylmethacrylate (P.M.M.A.) optic. The "in-the-bag" polypropylene closed loops revealed no significant histological reaction.
