Bilateral exudative retinal detachments as initial presentation of sympathetic ophthalmia in Turner syndrome.
METHODS
Sympathetic ophthalmia typically presents as bilateral granulomatous panuveitis that occurs after penetrating ocular injury. We describe a case of bilateral exudative retinal detachments in a patient with Turner syndrome and sympathetic ophthalmia.


CONCLUSIONS
To our knowledge, this is the first report of sympathetic ophthalmia in Turner syndrome.
