Abstract:
Purpose: To recognize the novel finding of a bacillary layer detachment (BALAD) secondary to endogenous fungal endophthalmitis. Methods: Chart review, literature review. Results: BALAD is a recently described condition in which the photoreceptor layer splits at the level of the inner segment myoid. We describe a case of BALAD associated with endogenous fungal endophthalmitis and subsequent development of choroidal neovascularization, although it is unclear if BALAD contributed to neovessel formation. Conclusions: BALAD is generally seen in the setting of inflammatory or infectious retinal diseases. This is the first report of BALAD secondary to endogenous fungal endophthalmitis.
