Abstract
PURPOSE: To report a case of endocapsular hematoma that cleared sponta neously without intervention. METHODS: We examined and followed up a 6 8-year-old man who developed an endocapsular hematoma 2 1/2 years afte r a standard extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. RESULTS: After several months without i ntervention, the endocapsular hematoma completely resolved. CONCLUSION S: Observation may be a rational treatment option in some patients wit h endocapsular hematoma.
