Abstract

Abstract We report on a pseudophakic patient with delayed onset endophthalmitis. The patient was treated twice topically and systemically with antibiotic and steroids with temporary response to treatment. The inflammation recurred twice upon withdrawal of treatment. Upon the third relapse of endophthalmitis the anterior portion of the capsular bag was opened by Nd:YAG laser. A third course of systemic and topical antibiotic and steroid treatment was followed by permanent resolution of inflammation. No relapse occurred during 18 months of follow‐up. 1994 Institution Acta Ophthalmologica Scandinavica
