Abstract
- Purpose: To show the feasibility while comparing functional and anatomical outcomes of vitrectomy combined with intralesional injection of voriconazole and povidone iodine for recalcitrant fusarium fungal endophthalmitis.<br />Methods: In a noncomparative interventional case, vitrectomy combined with intralesional injection of voriconazole and povidone iodine was performed in a single patient.<br />Results: Following vitrectomy and intralesional injection, our patient's fungal endophthalmitis stabilized and vision improved to 20/25. He did not require further intravitreal injections or vitrectomy.<br />Conclusions: Vitrectomy and intralesional injection for the treatment of refractory filamentary fungal endophthalmitis proved to be safe and effective for this case.<br />Competing Interests: Disclosure: The authors have no financial disclosures or conflict of interest.
