[A Case of Metastatic Endophthalmitis Resulting from Liver Abscess Complicated with Pyogenic Ventriculitis via Optic Nerve].

Background: Intracranial extension of infection via the optic nerve is a rare but serious complication of bacterial endophthalmitis.

Case: A 79-year-old women was hospitalized complaining of right eyelid swelling, severe hyperemia and purulent conjunctival discharge in the right eye. Although the fundus was invisible due to cataract, right endophthalmitis of unknown origin was suggested by pus in the anterior chamber and brain computed tomography (CT) findings showing nasal scleral rupture and orbital cellulitis.

Macular slippage after macular hole surgery with internal limiting membrane peeling.

Purpose: To describe macular slippage toward the optic disc after macular hole surgery with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling.

Materials And Methods: A total of 27 eyes of 27 patients with idiopathic macular hole were included in this retrospective study. The fovea-to-disc distance (FDD) was measured from digital color fundus images before and at least six months after surgery.

A comparison of the anatomic successes of primary vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with superior and inferior breaks.

Purpose: To compare the anatomic success between repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with superior breaks and repair of RRD with inferior breaks, by performing primary vitrectomy and using similar techniques and the same gas.

Methods: Eighty-two consecutive eyes of 80 patients with RRD were included in this retrospective comparative study. The eyes were divided into two groups according to the location of the breaks: superior (n = 62) and inferior (n = 20).
