Abstract
The pathology of subacute granulomatous endophthalmitis centered on a posterior chamber lens implant placed at extracapsular cataract surgery in the eye of a 72 year-old diabetic with cystoid macular edema following intracapsular extraction and an anterior chamber implant in the other eye is described in detail 3 months after surgery. The features of the severe granulomatous inflammation do not fit the usual pattern of sympathetic or phacoanaphylactic uveitis. The possibility of a specific hypersensitivity to the substance of the implant is considered. Die Pathologie von subakuter Endophthalmitis in einem Fall von einem Hinterkammerlinsenimplant nach extrakapsulaerer Kataraktexctraktion im Auge einer 72jährigen Diabetikerin mit zystoidem Makulaödem nach intrakapsulärer Kataraktoperation und Vorderkammerlinsenimplant im anderen Auge wird drei Monate post-operativ in allen Einzelheiten beschrieben. Das Bild einer schweren granulomatösen Entzündung paßt nicht zu den Diagnosen von symphatischer oder phakoanaphylaktischer Uveitis. Die Möglichkeit einer spezifischen Hypersensitivität gegen die Substanz des Implants wird in Betracht gezogen.Keywords
