This report is of a patient with presumed sympathetic ophthalmia following therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty. Therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty with subsequent inflammation should be viewed as a possible inciting agent for sympathetic ophthalmia and surgeons should be alert to this possibility in the event of visual complaints in the better eye.
Key words: Differential diagnosis, Penetrating keratoplasty, Sympathetic ophthalmia
