OBJECTIVE To present a case of suspected sympathetic ophthalmia in an 82-year-old monocular woman. METHODS Case report. RESULTS Here, we present an 82-year-old woman, status postcataract extraction with lens subluxation followed by a complicated course ultimately requiring enucleation because of a blind and painful eye in 2020, who developed contralateral choroidal lesions 6 months postenucleation along with vitritis and anterior uveitis. The lesions were suspicious for an infectious versus autoimmune etiology. Thorough systemic work-up and multimodal imaging suggest an autoimmune case. The findings in this patient suggest early identified sympathetic ophthalmia with multifocal choroiditis. This patient responded well to treatment of the acute episode with systemic corticosteroids and ultimately required steroid-sparing immunosuppression. CONCLUSIONS Sympathetic ophthalmia is a rare entity classically observed after intraocular surgery and trauma. It may mimic many infectious and noninfectious uveitis entities. In this patient, sympathetic is a primary concern given her history and age of presentation with consideration for other uveitic entities.
