Abstract Purpose:To report a healthy adult who developed concurrent endophthalmitis and orbital cellulitis.

Case:A 44-year-old male was referred to us for swelling of eyelid, conjunctival hyperemia, ocular pain, and impaired visual acuity in the left eye that started one week before.

Findings and Clinical Course:Corrected visual acuity was 1.2 right and light perception left. The left eye showed proptosis, fibrinous mass in the anterior chamber, and posterior synechia. Computed tomography showed findings of cellulitis in the left orbit. He had fever of 38℃. Eyelid swelling and impaired ocular motility subsided one week after systemic treatment with multiple antibiotics. Echography showed vitreal opacity 2 weeks after his initial visit. Vitreous surgery showed vitreal abscess and total retinal detachment. Endophthalmitis and orbital cellulitis subsided 6 weeks later, with no improvement in visual function in the left eye. The right eye was unaffected throughout the course.

Conclusion:Concurrent endophthalmitis and orbital cellulitis are a rare clinical event. Etiological factors and the route of infection remained unexplained in the present case.
