Sympathetic ophthalmia (SO) is a rare bilateral granulomatous panuveitis following ocular trauma or surgery, with an incidence of 0.1% after surgery and 0.2–0.5% after trauma.

Patients with both sympathetic ophthalmia and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) may experience more complications and worse visual outcomes than those with PDR alone.

A case study described a 27-year-old woman with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes who developed SO after penetrating trauma, leading to significant visual decline.

Treatment for SO included high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone and adalimumab to manage inflammation and reduce corticosteroid exposure during pregnancy.

Following treatment, the patient's visual acuity improved, and both SO and PDR showed regression, although complications persisted during a subsequent pregnancy.
