Abstract:
We have experienced a case of bilateral bacterial endophthalmitis after bilateral elevation of intraocular pressure. This patient suffered from meningitis and bacteremia. The enucleation was performed and histopathologic studies revealed severe inflammary change of the anterior segment. The present report described the relation between clinical signs and histopathologic findings of the metastatic endophthalmitis. We should keep in mind the possibility of the metastatic endophthalmitis in case of acute increase of intraocular pressure.
