[Pars plana vitrectomy in the treatment of exogenous suppurative endophthalmitis].
The authors evaluate the results of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in 12 patients with exogenous suppurative endophthalmitis (EHE). EHE developed after operation of cataract in eight patients and after perforating injury of the sclera in four patients. The shape, size and appearance of the eye was preserved in 11 eyes, the function of the eye with a visual acuity of 0.5-1.0 was saved in six eyes (50%), in one eye with bacteriologically confirmed mycotic enophthalmitis and in five eyes where bacterial infection was assumed. Inoperable detachment of the retina characterized the ophthalmoscopic finding in all eyes with loss of function. Close cooperation of ophthalmological departments with vitreoretinal centres and early performance of urgent surgery are the basic prerequisites of better functional results of PPV in EHE.
