Bacillus cereus panophthalmitis associated with intraocular gas bubble.

It has become increasingly apparent that Bacillus cereus can cause a severe and devastating form of endophthalmitis following penetrating trauma by a metallic object. B. cereus is an uncommon aetiological agent in non-clostridial gas-forming infections. The patient studied in this single case report showed evidence of intraocular gas mimicking gas gangrene infection. The physiology of non-clostridial bacteria producing gas from anaerobic metabolic conditions is reviewed. Further intraocular and systemic complications which may be avoided by accurate and early diagnosis and the use of recommended treatment with antibiotics such as clindamycin.

Suprachoroidal septic effusion leading to panophthalmitis following strabismus surgery.

We describe a case of endophthalmitis following strabismus surgery. Drainage of the suprachoroidal effusion with injection of antibiotics was unsuccessful in salvaging vision. Endophthalmitis following strabismus surgery may present with findings simulating a choroidal effusion or hemorrhage. Treating physicians should be alert to signs and symptoms of this severe complication of strabismus surgery in preverbal children.

Intravascular lymphoma presenting as bilateral panophthalmitis and retinal detachment in a dog.

A seven-year-old, spayed female boxer was presented for sudden blindness and red eyes of one week's duration. Ophthalmic examination revealed bilateral uveitis with complete bullous retinal detachments. Initial diagnostic testing failed to reveal evidence of systemic disease. Cytopathology of subretinal aspirates confirmed the presence of macrophages with intracytoplasmic retinal pigment, epithelial and choroidal pigment, and monocytes. Tentative diagnoses were idiopathic uveitis and retinal detachment. The dog was treated with immunosuppressive doses of prednisone. The retinas reattached and vision returned. By two months, the dog became blind and systemically ill. Postmortem and histopathological examinations revealed intravascular lymphoma in multiple organs, including the eyes.
