| Popis: | We describe a case of a poorly controlled diabetic patient with left endogenous panophthalmitis with orbital cellulitis and positive ocular culture of Escherichia coli with negative systemic workup and rare clinical presentation. Was misdiagnosed and mismanaged as acute angle-closure glaucoma. Despite medical treatment with intravenous antibiotics, the patient required evisceration of the left eye as a result of the delay in diagnosis and treatment. A high index of suspicion for endogenous endophthalmitis and awareness of the proper workup and different clinical presentations is needed to avoid vision and life-threatening consequences. |
