Echographic Findings in Infectious Endophthalmitis

Real time B-Scan evaluation of Posterior chamber & extraocular pathologies of Eye & Orbit

“…Endopthalmitis: Endopthalnitis appeared as intermediate level free mobile internal echoes and membranes associated with thickening of the ocular coat (>3mm). Similar findings were also described by Berrocal et al [21], Dacey MP et al [22] and Puodziuviene et al [19].…”

Predictors of visual outcome and the role of early vitrectomy in streptococcal endophthalmitis

“…They may also indicate underlying complications of endophthalmitis, such as retinal or choroidal detachment, which may lead to poorer outcomes. 14 In this population of culture-positive Streptococcus, most were readily visible on Gram stain as Grampositive cocci, and were identifiable as resembling Streptococcus species in nearly half of the cases. This study showed that early identification of Streptococcus species on Gram stain significantly predicted poorer visual outcome.…”

<em>Fusarium</em> Endophthalmitis Following Keratitis Associated With Contact Lenses

“…In both patients, echography prior to vitrectomy showed mild to moderate vitreous opacities, a finding different from the dense vitreous membranes associated with bacterial endophthalmitis. 8 During vitrectomy, the posterior vitreous appeared relatively clear in both eyes after removing the dense fibrin, pupillary membranes, and anterior chamber infiltration.…”
