[Sympathetic ophthalmia 21 years after penetrating eye injury].

Abstract
Sympathetic ophthalmia developed 21 years after penetrating wound during a relapse of posttraumatic uveitis 10 days after enucleation of the injured eye and discontinuation of dexamethasone. The diagnosis was confirmed histologically. The authors believe that enucleation and discontinuation of steroids provoked the development of inflammation in the paired eye.
