Successful management of sympathetic ophthalmia was achieved through surgical repair, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressive drugs. This case highlights effective treatment for severe ocular inflammation following eye injury.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Sympathetic ophthalmia is a rare but serious bilateral uveitis.
  • It can occur after penetrating eye trauma or intraocular surgery.

Observation:

  • A patient developed sympathetic ophthalmia one month post-corneal perforation and traumatic cataract.
  • Manifestations included anterior segment inflammation and posterior pole exudation in both eyes.

Findings:

  • Combined surgical reconstruction, corticosteroids, and antibiotics initially improved anterior segment inflammation.
  • Addition of immunosuppressive therapy was crucial for resolving posterior pole exudation.
  • A relapse occurred upon corticosteroid reduction but was managed with dosage adjustment.

Implications:

  • This case demonstrates the efficacy of a multi-modal treatment approach for sympathetic ophthalmia.
  • Early and aggressive management involving surgery and immunosuppression can lead to favorable visual outcomes.
  • Maintaining appropriate immunosuppression is key to preventing relapses.
