Phacoanaphylactic endophthalmitis: a clinicopathologic review.

Lens-induced uveitis or phacoanaphylactic endophthalmitis (PE) is a chronic endophthalmitis with a zonal granulomatous inflammation surrounding a ruptured lens. One hundred forty four cases of PE were retrospectively evaluated clinically and histopathologically. The disease was not well recognized clinically as only six of the cases were given the clinical diagnosis of PE. Most cases (80%) occurred after trauma, surgical or non-surgical. The time after injury varied from two days to fifty nine years. Of those individuals less than 55 years of age who had no history of trauma. 29% were noted by clinical history to have microphthalmia. Although classically the inflammation of PE has been described as being confined to the anterior aspect of the eye, the choroid was involved with an inflammatory reaction in 76% of the cases.
