title: Corneal stromal pseudohypopyon in a pseudophakic patient.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Corneal stromal pseudohypopyon is a rare entity.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 65-year-old female developed a suture abscess in her pseudophakic right eye, three years after conventional extra-capsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. Pusfrom the suture abscess tracked down the corneal stromal layers and formed a pus level leading to the appearance of a corneal intra-stromal pseudo-hypopyon.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case is unique due to its unusual clinical presentation and highlights the fact that corneal pseudo hypopyon may occur without any associated anterior chamber hypopyon or Descemet's detachment.
