Endophthalmitis is a rare but catastrophic complication of intraocular surqeries and penetrating injuries. In spite of advances in diagnosis and therapy, the overall prognosis for recovery of useful vision has been regarded as poor. We experienced eight cases of endophthalmitis and performed vitrectomy combined with intravitreal antibiotics. Four(50%) had a final isual acuty of 0.2 or better. Vitrectomy was performed in cases of advanced intraocular inflammation, and intraocular lens was removed for suspected fungal endophthalmitis or to facilitate performance of a vitrectomy. A sample of vitreous, diluted by the irrigating solution, was passed through a disposable membrane filter system and inoculated into the culture media. Modification of therapy after initial broad spectrum antibiotics was based on the culture results and clinical responses. Repetitive intraocular antibiotic injections or reoperation were performed in severe cases.

Low-grade nasopharyngeal papillary adenocarcinoma is an unusual nasopharyngeal tumor. This malignant tumor originates in the epithelium and exhibits adenocarcinomatous differentiation and indolent behavior. Macroscopically, these tumors are pedunculated polypoid masses that arise on the roof of the nasopharynx. Microscopically, they are characterized by papillary and glandular epithelial proliferation. We report a case of a 25-year-old woman who presented with a papillary adenocarcinoma on the roof of nasopharynx; in describing the case, we have focused on the histological features and endoscopic management of the tumor. The tumor was completely excised via nasal endoscopic approach. Immunohistochemical analysis of the tumor was performed based on a differential diagnosis of metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma. The testing involved thyroid transcription factor-1, thyroglobulin, and epithelial membrane antigen analysis. The patient remained disease-free for over 6 months after the surgical excision performed via nasal endoscopic approach.
