To present two cases of neonatal endophthalmitis with poor prognosis that were managed with primary evisceration.
Case 1 is a 27-weeks' gestation neonate who developed endophthalmitis complicated by globe rupture. Case 2 describes a 34-weeks' gestation neonate with endophthalmitis. Both patients had poor prognosis and thus underwent primary evisceration with good long-term cosmetic outcomes at 15 years and 17 months, respectively.
Primary evisceration should be considered in neonates with endophthalmitis with a poor prognosis and can result in good long-term cosmesis.
