Title: Spontaneous resolution of an endocapsular hematoma. Author: Hater MA, Yung CW. Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1997 Jun; 123(6):844-6. PubMed ID: 9535635. Abstract: PURPOSE: To report a case of endocapsular hematoma that cleared spontaneously without intervention. METHODS: We examined and followed up a 68-year-old man who developed an endocapsular hematoma 2 1/2 years after a standard extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. RESULTS: After several months without intervention, the endocapsular hematoma completely resolved. CONCLUSIONS: Observation may be a rational treatment option in some patients with endocapsular hematoma.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
