Endophthalmitis is a rare cause of ocular infection that can be associated with immunocompromising conditions and, more rarely, with sickle cell disease. In this case report and review of the literature, we present a case of a young male with sickle cell disease who presented with rapidly progressive ocular pain, edema, erythema, and decreased visual acuity. The key radiological findings to suggest endophthalmitis were demonstrated using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
眼内炎是一种罕见的眼部感染病因，可与免疫功能低下状态相关，更罕见的是与镰状细胞病相关。在本病例报告及文献综述中，我们呈现了一例患有镰状细胞病的年轻男性病例，该患者出现了迅速进展的眼痛、水肿、红斑及视力下降。通过计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像展示了提示眼内炎的关键影像学表现。
