Anterior chamber and vitreous aspiration may fail to isolate a microorganism in chronic pseudophakic endophthalmitis. In some eyes, obtaining a portion of the central posterior lens capsule may assist in determining the infectious etiology of the endophthalmitis. We describe a technique by which the entire lens capsule and its internal contents are removed and cultured. This surgical method facilitated the isolation and eradication of the causative pathogen in a patient with chronic recurrent pseudophakic endophthalmitis that was diagnostically and therapeutically refractory to previous vitrectomy, posterior capsulectomy, and intravitreal antibiotic injection.
在前房和玻璃体穿刺抽吸术中，可能无法在慢性人工晶状体眼内炎中分离出微生物。在某些眼中，获取一部分中央后囊膜可能有助于确定眼内炎的感染病因。我们描述了一种技术，通过该技术可以切除整个晶状体囊膜及其内部内容物并进行培养。这种手术方法有助于在一名慢性复发性人工晶状体眼内炎患者中分离和根除致病病原体，该患者对先前的玻璃体切除术、后囊膜切除术和玻璃体内抗生素注射在诊断和治疗上均无效。
