  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 64-year-old woman presented with epiretinal membrane and metamorphopsia in her left eye. Corrected visual acuity was 0.9 left. She underwent phacoemulsification-aspiration,intraocular lens implantation,pars plana vitrectomy,and peeling of epiretinal membrane. Triamcinolone acetate was added to the perfusion fluid. The intraoperative and immediate postoperative period was uneventful. The visual acuity was 1.2 3 weeks after surgery. She developed blurring of vision 5 weeks after surgery,with visual acuity of 0.01. Her left eye showed minimum signs of inflammation in the anterior chamber and severe vitreous opacity,suggesting infectious endophthalmitis. After 4 days of systemic antibiotics,vitrectomy was performed on day 5 with antibiotics added to the perfusion fluid. She regained final visual acuity of 1.5. Attempts to isolate microorganism were in vain throughout. This case illustrates that endophthalmitis following triamcinolon-assisted vitrectomy may be of late onset and may show lesser involvement of anterior ocular segment.
