| Popis: | This report describes an unusually delayed presentation of capsular bag distension syndrome (CBDS), which was found to be associated with Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) endophthalmitis. Our patient presented with a gradual decrease in vision after uneventful cataract surgery done 13 years back. On examination, there was a thick turbid fluid entrapped behind the intraocular lens (IOL). Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) confirmed the presumed diagnosis. The case was managed by pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with posterior capsulotomy, and the entrapped turbid fluid was aspirated and sent for histopathology, which revealed a positive growth of P. acnes. The patient had excellent outcomes with complete resolution post-operatively. |
