Summary

Purulent endophthalmitis developed in a child post-bimedial faden surgery, leading to vision loss. Prompt treatment with antibiotics and vitrectomy improved vision, but complications like retinal detachment required further intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Bimedial faden operation, a type of squint surgery, involves posterior fixation.
  • Postoperative complications can arise, necessitating prompt diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • A 10-year-old boy presented with purulent endophthalmitis and light perception visual acuity in his right eye three days after bimedial faden surgery.
  • Bacteriologic workup identified coagulase-negative, gram-positive cocci in both conjunctival swabs and vitreous aspirate.

Findings:

  • The patient received systemic antibiotics (cephalosporins, amikacin) and high-dose methylprednisolone.
  • Pars plana vitrectomy was performed nine days post-admission.
  • Complications included traction retinal detachment, requiring lensectomy and silicone oil instillation 30 days after the initial surgery.

  • Visual acuity improved to 0.2 (corrected) three months post-surgery.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the risk of severe postoperative endophthalmitis following squint surgery.
    • Aggressive management, including antibiotics, vitrectomy, and addressing secondary complications, is crucial for visual recovery.
    • Early detection and appropriate treatment are vital for managing sight-threatening infections after ophthalmic procedures.
