Imaging of Dalen-Fuchs Nodules in a Likely Case of Sympathetic Ophthalmia by Fluorescein Angiography and OCT

Sympathetic ophthalmia (SO) is a well-known but rare autoimmune disease in which the sympathizing eye suffers granulomatous panuveitis after trauma to the fellow eye. An unusual case of SO occurring 32 years after trauma to the fellow eye, and 1 year after unsuccessful vitrectomy/scleral buckle repa...

Summary:Sympathetic ophthalmia (SO) is a well-known but rare autoimmune disease in which the sympathizing eye suffers granulomatous panuveitis after trauma to the fellow eye. An unusual case of SO occurring 32 years after trauma to the fellow eye, and 1 year after unsuccessful vitrectomy/scleral buckle repair of an acute retinal detachment in the inciting eye was presented. An optical coherence tomography imagery of Dalen-Fuchs nodules, not previously reported, and rare angiographic imaging of SO in its acute phase was demonstrated.
