title: Spontaneous resolution of an endocapsular hematoma.
abstract: 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.
