title: [Sympathetic ophthalmia after a cataract operation].
abstract: Sympathetic ophthalmia remains a dreadful complication of ocular traumas, accidentally but also surgically occurred; it may induced by certain ocular components, which are strongly antigenic, such as the uveal material or the recently discovered retinal material, represented by the interphotoreceptor binding protein and the S-antigen. The occurrence of the disease seems to be favoured by the transferring of the antigenic material through the conjunctival lymphatic mesh opened by the trauma. The paper presents a female patient with sympathetic ophthalmia occurred after cataract surgery.
