| Popis: | PURPOSE To describe a patient with macular infarction caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis-induced endophthalmitis. METHODS Case report. RESULTS An 88-year-old woman was referred to our clinic for endophthalmitis after cataract extraction. She was diagnosed to have an S. epidermidis infection. Her vision dropped from 20/50 to hand motions. During the course of her infection, she developed multiple multifocal branch retinal artery occlusions associated with absolute capillary nonperfusion centrally and was diagnosed with macular infarction. CONCLUSION Although most commonly associated with aminoglycoside toxicity, macular infarction can occur after endophthalmitis treatment without the use of aminoglycosides. |
