Sympathetic ophthalmia related to conjunctival invasive squamous-cell carcinoma

Abstract: Sympathetic ophthalmia (SO) is a rare, diffuse, bilateral, and granulomatous nonnecrotizing panuveitis that may follow intraocular penetrating trauma. Our aim is to report a rare case of SO following orbital exenteration. Orbital exenteration was performed on a 48-year-old african female due to conjunctival keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma with intraocular involvement of the left eye. Five days after the uneventful procedure, the patient presented signs and symptoms compatible with SO. Key differential dia… Show more

“…We described 16 new SO patients at our hospital then conducted a literature search, retrieving a total of 87 previous case reports of SO. 9,10,1667 These 103 patients had an average age at presentation of 44.9 years (ranging from 2.5–85 years) and consisted of 69 males (66.9%) and 34 females (33.1%). There were 51 patients (49.5%) who underwent ocular therapies and 52 patients (50.5%) with a previous history of trauma.…”

“…Long-term follow-up in this patient is not possible, but larger series suggest that the risk of metastasis is rather low, even with invasive tumors [ 10 ]. Furthermore, there were no signs of sympathetic ophthalmia, a complication recently described in another case report [ 11 ].…”

“…The globe was salvaged, and no recurrence was noted at 4.5 years follow-up. There are approximately 20 cases of intraocular extension of squamous cell carcinoma described in the literature, the majority of whom were treated with enucleation [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. More recently, Arepalli et al .…”
