Abstract Purpose:To report a case of acute endophthalmitis after scleral buckling surgery using chandelier endoillumination.

Case:A 55-year-old woman noticed floaters in her right eye in early April 20XX. She visited an ophthalmology clinic and was transferred to our hospital due to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in her right eye. At the first visit to our hospital, the best corrected visual acuity of the right eye was 0.8. Because there was localized retinal detachment in the lower peripheral area, she underwent scleral buckling surgery using a non-contact wide-angle viewing system and chandelier endoillumination. The buckling surgery was completed without any intraoperative complications. On the first day after the operation, conjunctival chemosis at the superior area was observed, but the retina was well reattached. On the second day, a yellowish white discharge on the surface of the right eye and fibrin net in the vitreous body were detected. We diagnosed the case as postoperative endophthalmitis and performed vitrectomy with lens extraction on the same day. As much of the vitreous body as possible was removed and silicone oil was injected at the end of the surgical procedure. Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus epidermidis was detected on a culture of the vitreous specimen. On the sixth day after the re-operation, the fundus became clearly visible. Approximately 3 months after the re-operation, the silicone oil was removed and an intraocular lens insertion was performed. Her corrected visual acuity of the right eye was 1.2.

Conculusion:Suegeons should be mindful of infectious endopthalmitis when performing scleral buckling surgery with chandelier endoillumination.
