Abstract
Sympathetic ophthalmia following cyclocryotherapy is extremely rare. T he authors report a case of sympathetic ophthalmia after cyclocryother apy for neovascular glaucoma due to central retinal vein occlusion. Hi stopathologic examination of the exciting eye showed features of signi ficant sympathetic ophthalmia along with migration of uveal pigments t o the limbal conjunctiva with lymphocytic infiltration around it, ther eby indicating probable etiopathogenesis.
