Spontaneous resolution of an endocapsular hematoma.
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of endocapsular hematoma that cleared spontaneously without intervention.


METHODS
We examined and followed up a 68-year-old man who developed an endocapsular hematoma 2 1/2 years after a standard extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation.


RESULTS
After several months without intervention, the endocapsular hematoma completely resolved.


CONCLUSIONS
Observation may be a rational treatment option in some patients with endocapsular hematoma.
