  • Title: Successfully managed endophthalmitis following strabismus surgery.
    Author: Alniemi ST, Bakri SJ, Cherfan C, Mohney BG.
    Journal: J AAPOS; 2016 Jun; 20(3):263-6. PubMed ID: 27312966.
    Abstract:
    Endophthalmitis following strabismus surgery is rare and has been reported to occur in from 1:3,500 to 1:185,000 cases. Severe adverse sequelae, including phthisis bulbi and enucleation, occur often despite early and aggressive treatment. This report describes 3 patients with endophthalmitis following apparently uneventful strabismus surgery by three different surgeons. Infections were aggressively treated. Two patients received intravitreal steroids; all 3 returned to their preoperative baseline visual acuity.
