Abstract:
The authors present that was diagnosed late panophthalmitis histopathologically and that was a case of 17 scheie's filtering operated eyes during last 2 years. The patient was 63 year-old male who had chronic narrow angle glaucoma associated with moderate optic nerve cupping and atrophy in both eyes a year ago. Good filtering bleb showed and intraocular pressure controlled well normally after Scheie's operation in right eye. One year and five months later acute suppurative endophtbalmitis occured in operated eye during catarrhal conjunctivitis in both eyes. The authors concluded that the route of infection was filtering fleb. Culture of excreting pus through ruptured filtering fleb was negative.
