摘要
Endogenous endophthalmitis, a rare and severe ocular infection, is typically associated with endogenous infections that reach the eye, while prostatic abscesses pose clinical challenges and are more common in immunocompromised patients. We present a case of a 50-year-old male with endophthalmitis resulting from a prostatic abscess. The patient's journey underscores the need for heightened awareness of prostatic abscess in patients with perineal symptoms, especially those with immunosuppression, and the consideration of endophthalmitis as a potential complication in urologic disease. The case highlights the urgent need for standardized guidelines in managing prostatic abscesses, given their complexity and potential for severe complications.
