title: [Anterior uveitis and intracameral white foreign body in a patient with anterior polar cataract].
abstract: We present a rare case of spontaneous phacolysis with consecutive anterior uveitis in a patient with anterior polar cataract. Despite an intact appearing anterior lens capsule cells were found in the anterior chamber as well as a white mass in the inferior chamber angle. After failure of absorption under topical steroid treatment surgical treatment with capsulorhexis, phacoemulsification and implantation of a intraocular posterior chamber lens in the capsular bag was performed uneventfully. Postoperatively, rapid regression of the inflammatory reaction was observed.
