To report a case of endophthalmitis following 27-gauge pars plana vitrectomy for symptomatic vitreous floaters.
The clinical course and imaging findings, including fundus optomap, and spectral domain optical coherence tomography of a 24-year-old male patient were documented.
The patient, with a preoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 1.0, developed endophthalmitis following 27-gauge pars plana vitrectomy for symptomatic vitreous floaters. After a series of treatments, including emergent vitreous tap and silicone oil injection, antibiotic treatment, and silicone oil removal, the patient regained a BCVA of 0.6.
Although rare, the potential risk of endophthalmitis should be explicitly discussed with patients considering surgical intervention for vitreous floaters.
报告1例因有症状的玻璃体混浊行27G经平坦部玻璃体切割术后发生眼内炎的病例。
记录1例24岁男性患者的临床病程及影像学检查结果,包括眼底Optomap及频域光学相干断层扫描。
该患者术前最佳矫正视力(BCVA)为1.0,因有症状的玻璃体混浊行27G经平坦部玻璃体切割术后发生眼内炎。经过一系列治疗,包括急诊玻璃体穿刺及硅油注入、抗生素治疗以及硅油取出,患者BCVA恢复至0.6。
尽管罕见,但对于考虑因玻璃体混浊进行手术干预的患者,应明确与其讨论眼内炎的潜在风险。
