An 81-year-old woman had uneventful bilateral sequential phacoemulsification using a separate sterile technique for each eye. Despite this, early culture-positive postoperative endophthalmitis developed. Management included bilateral intravitreal antibiotic agents, and the patient achieved an excellent visual outcome. To our knowledge, this is the third reported case of bilateral endophthalmitis after bilateral sequential phacoemulsification and the first reported case in which a separate sterile technique was used in each eye.
一名81岁女性双眼先后进行了白内障超声乳化吸除术,每只眼睛采用独立的无菌技术。尽管如此,术后仍发生了早期培养阳性的眼内炎。治疗措施包括双眼玻璃体腔内注射抗生素,患者获得了良好的视力预后。据我们所知,这是双侧先后白内障超声乳化吸除术后发生双侧眼内炎的第三例报道,也是首例每只眼睛采用独立无菌技术的报道病例。
