Development of Sympathetic Ophthalmia despite Early Enucleation of Injured Eye: A Case Report

It is believed that the enucleation of a severely traumatized eye within two weeks of injury will protect the fellow eye from sympathetic ophthalmia . I present a case of sympathetic ophthalmia following early enucleation of the traumatized eye. A 32 year-old Iranian man with a history of enucleation of the right eye, only one day subsequent to severe penetrating ocular damage which had occurred 12 years ago, developed sympathetic ophthalmia in his left eye. Sympathetic ophtalmia can occur despite early removal of injured eye, but its occurrence is extremely rare.
