Abstract
Purpose: To describe a rare case of sympathetic ophthalmia with subretinal hypopyon. Methods: Observational case report. Results: A 41-year-old man was diagnosed with sympathetic ophthalmia in his left eye. Oral prednisone was started. Three days later, he developed an inferior exudative retinal detachment with an underlying hypopyon. The exudative retinal detachment and hypopyon resolved completely within 48 hours. Conclusions: A subretinal hypopyon in sympathetic ophthalmia is a rare clinical finding. It is probably the result of acute inflammation in the subretinal space.
