Abstract
INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVES: Endophthalmitis is defined as inflammation of the internal ocular structures and it could be of exogenous or endogenous origin. Endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis (EBE) accounts for about 2%-6% of all cases and occurs during bacteremia when infective agent penetrates the blood- ocular barriers.. Endogenous panophthalmitis (EP) results in the most extensive ocular involvement withinflammation of periocular tissues . All therapeutic options are aimed to stop the spreading of infective inflammation from orbital space into cavernous sinus and is considered to be a life saving treatment.
