Abstract:
The authors studied the retinal vascular patterns of human eye suffered from complicated endophthalmitis following by perforating injury and corneal ulcer. The technique of preparing slides to study the retinal vascular patterns were same as previously noted Part I report. A lot of microorganisms, such as cocci, bacilli and fungi are found in the inflamed foci(with or without filaments) around the retinal vessels unless the vessels were completely occluded. Focal and diffuse exudative vasculitis is related to the species of microorganisms and cbserved stage but almost all retinal vessel waIls show diffuse loss of perivascular argyrophilic fibers, socalled "moth eaten" appearance. In the later stage of vasculitis microorganisms are not found in the inflamed focus("punched out" lesion) of the occluded vessels which show as "bark-stripped-dead tree" appearance in reticulin stain.
