Abstract

Panophthalmitis is a visually devastating ocular inflammation within the eye that involves the

retina, choroid, and sclera and extends into the orbit. Endogenous panophthalmitis is a rare entity that occurs due to the spread of organisms hematogenous from a

focus of infection elsewhere in the body. We report a case of endogenous panophthalmitis

in a sixty-year-old diabetic male. The patient was a known case of diabetic kidney disease

with uncontrolled blood sugar level and high creatinine level. He had low hemoglobin

for which he was given a blood transfusion.He experienced Myocardial

Infarction post-transfusion.ECG and Trop T-test were confirmatory WBC count showed leucocytosis.Ocular examination was done after three days and

revealed panopthalmitis in both eyes. The cause of infection was deemed to be the

immunocompromised state and poor control of diabetes.The Patient was managed conservatively as the surgical

intervention was not considered possible because of systemic instability.
