[Long-term immunosuppressive treatment of sympathetic ophthalmia].
The authoresses present the results of treatment of 5 patients with sympathetic ophthalmia caused by injury of the eye. In 3 patients the removal of the excited eye and several years lasting conservative treatment--between others by immunosuppressive compounds--led to the arrest of the inflammatory process and enabled to preserve a good visual acuity in the saved eye. In 2 persons the function of either eye however could not be saved.
