Purpose: To report a case of sympathetic ophthalmia presenting with extraocular symptoms after 23-gauge sutureless vitrectomy.
Methods: Observational case report.
Results: A 29-year-old woman underwent 23-gauge sutureless vitrectomy for spontaneous rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in the right eye. After vitrectomy, dense conjunctival pigmentations developed around the sclerotomy sites. One month after the second vitrectomy for a recurred retinal detachment, she presented with decreased visual acuity and metamorphopsia in both eyes, headache, tinnitus, and facial swelling. She was diagnosed with sympathetic ophthamia and treated with oral prednisolone and cyclosporine. Her visual acuity and symptoms improved after treatment.
Conclusion: Sympathetic ophthalmia can occur after 23-gauge sutureless vitrectomy and conjunctival pigmentation may be the preceding sign.

We report a case of sympathetic ophthalmia that developed in the fellow eye following therapeutic corneal transplantation and amniotic membrane transplantation for corneal perforation caused by corneal ulceration. A 62-year-old man presented with discharge, lacrimation, and decreased visual acuity in the left eye. He was diagnosed with a corneal ulcer and treated with antimicrobial agents, but corneal epithelial erosion persisted, leading to nontraumatic corneal perforation.
