Septic retinitis.
A case of septic occlusion of the retinal vessels causing severe endophthalmitis is presented. The documentation of the retinal involvement before development of the abscess with photography and fluorescein angiography is rather exceptional. Although pars plana vitrectomy saved the eye, the vision was lost because vascular occlusion caused a retinal tear with retinal detachment.
