[Drainage of the vitreous body space in cases of intra-ocular infection (author's transl)].
In the last 2 years we saw eight cases with massive i.o.infection (panopht-almitis) following perforating injuries. We took measures as follows: After trepanation of the sclera we washed out the space of the vitreous body with diluted solution of Gentamycin and simultaneously we used massive systemic therapy of Gentamycin and of Penicillin. In this way we stopped the infection in four eyes and we were successful in maintaining in various degree the function of these eyes.
