title: Multimodal Imaging in Sympathetic Ophthalmia.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To show the current status of multimodal imaging and its role in supporting an early diagnosis of sympathetic ophthalmia.
  
  
  METHODS
  The diagnosis is mainly clinical supported with ancillary investigations; mainly fluorescein angiography and others, including indocyanine angiography optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT enhanced depth imaging, autofluorescence imaging, and ultrasonography.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Various imaging modalities such as OCT, autofluorescence imaging and angiography are critical in the diagnosis and management of sympathetic ophthalmia. The clinician must make adequate use of such ancillary investigations in the management of the patients.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Sympathetic ophthalmia is a rare, bilateral inflammation of the uveal tract following penetrating trauma or surgery in one eye. The intraocular inflammation requires a prompt diagnosis so that the treatment can be initiated as early as possible.
