| Abstract |
|
Among the complications of cataract surgery, the reported frequency of posterior capsular opacification was 20~50 percent. We experienced a case of new type of posterior capsular opacification in the seventy-one year old woman patient, who undertook the cataract operation with phacoemulsification six years ago and visited our hospital with the decreased vision. With biomicroscopic examination, posterior capsular opacification, creating a closed chamber between the lens and the posterior capsule in which a liquefied, milky white substance accumulates was detected. The patient was treated with Nd: YAG laser capsulotomy. To our knowledge, there has been no reported case of liquefied posterior capsular opacification in Korea. Therefore we report this case with literature review. |
