Аннотация
PURPOSE: To discuss the use of minimally invasive, small gauge vitrectomy for acute postcataract endophthalmitis in patients with better than light-perception vision.
PATIENT: 71-year-old man presented with redness, pain, and decreased vision of his left eye 11 days after cataract extraction. His visual acuity was counting fingers at 1 foot and slit-lamp examination revealed severe conjunctival injection, corneal edema, and hypopyon. The clinical impression was of acute postcataract endophthalmitis.
METHODS: Patient was taken for immediate vitrectomy with simultaneous vitreous tap for culture, PCR, and injection of intravitreal vancomycin and ceftazidime.
RESULTS: Culture and PCR of vitreous sample were positive for Staphylococcus epidermidis. Vision improved to 20/20 1 month postoperatively with complete resolution of vitreous inflammation and retinal vasculitis.
CONCLUSION: In postcataract endophthalmitis with dense vitritis and diffuse retinal vasculitis, immediate, 25-gauge vitrectomy may result in return of baseline visual acuity.
