We report for the first time a case of metastatic endophthalmitis caused by the gram-negative organism Enterobacter agglomerans (Erwinia species). One day following internal hemorrhoidal ligation, the patient developed anterior uveitis that progressed to panophthalmitis with a lenticular abscess and a necrotic retina. Despite aggressive surgery and appropriate antibiotic therapy, the affected eye lost useful vision.

Background: Intracranial epidural hematoma (EDH) is frequently secondary to trauma, but in some rare cases, spontaneous EDH (SEDH) could develop without trauma. Cranial osteomyelitis is an uncommon osseous infection that most frequently presents as a postoperative complication but also rarely originates from paranasal sinusitis and can develop extracranially to form a subperiosteal abscess or intracranially to form an epidural, subdural, or cerebral abscess. Intracranial epidural abscess (EDA) is an uncommon infection that forms in the space between the cranial bone and dura mater.

Intralenticular abscess is a very rare entity that occurs after trauma, cataract surgeries, or as metastatic infection. It is important to pinpoint this sequestrated infection and to evacuate the abscess surgically to prevent chronic endophthalmitis. In this report, we describe a case of posttraumatic lenticular abscess highlighting the characteristic clinical features and their management.
