title: [Risk factors for fibrinoid reaction after posterior chamber lens implantation--a retrospective study].
abstract: Previous ocular diseases (e.g. herpetic keratouveitis), glaucoma, previous ocular surgery and surgery longer than normal turned out to be the main risk factors for a fibrinoid reaction after an extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber lens implantation in patients of the Universitäts-Augenklinik Düsseldorf between June 1989 and March 1990. This result was obtained from a retrospective study of the medical records. No special risks could be concluded neither from the presence of general diseases (e.g. diabetes mellitus, consumptive basic diseases), immuno-suppressive treatment, constitutional factors, nor from age, sex, operative method nor from the surgeon. Preoperative antiexsudative prophylactic treatment is suggested for patients with one or more risk factor.
