  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Two patients, a 58-year-old male and 62-year-old female, were referred for endophthalmitis. Both patients had received trabeculectomy with adjunct mitomycin C about 3 years before. One patient had hemiparalysis secondary to cerebral infarction and had been living alone. The other had untreated diabetes mellitus and had been caring for a disabled family member. The affected eyes showed avascular conjunctiva and thin connective tissue presumably due to mitomycin C. It appeared that resulting dysfunction of the conjunctiva as ocular surface had induced endophthalmitis. Both patients had additional background factors which might have facilitated endophthalmitis. These cases illustrate that late-onset endophthalmitis is a liability following mitomycin C trabeculectomy in predisposed patients.
