To report the dynamic disease
course of a case of bilateral endogenous fungal endophthalmitis, which was
successfully treated? Case Report: A 54 year old Chinese man with a history ofextracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and ureteroscopy was referred to our center. After 1 week, his best corrected Snellen visual acuity (BCVA)
values were 20/100 and 20/25; the interface between the posterior vitreous face
and the retinal surface appeared to be rough in the right eye, and a similar,
larger, low-rounded circumscribed apophysis could be observed in the left eye.
During the 2nd week, his BCVA values decreased to 20/400 and 20/32. He was diagnosed
with bilateral endogenous Candida albicans endophthalmitis after a vitreous
biopsy and then underwent binocular pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with silicone
oil injection in both eyes. Post operatively, his BCVA values were 20/63 and 20/32, and fundoscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed a regular
and smooth interface and retina surface after the removal of the silicone oil
at 3 months.
