Abstract:
An algerian woman presents with a panuveitis of the right eye. Main features of this uveitis are exudative retinal detachments. That happened several months after a corneal ulcer of unknown aetiology on the left eye. Immunologic, neurologic and infections workup associated with previous ocular injury points to the diagnosis of sympathetic ophthalmia. However, the diagnosis of Harada disease can also be considered in this case because of similarities regarding the clinical and the histologic aspects which are exposed. If corticosteroids are the drug of choice, enucleation is still indicated for sympathetic ophthalmia.
