摘要
Endogenous endophthalmitis is a rare complication of endocarditis, rendering poor visual prognosis. We report a case of a 66-year-old female with renal failure who presented with fever, ocular pain, and purulent eye discharge. After a diagnosis of endogenous endophthalmitis, she was treated with antibiotics and enucleation of the eye. Due to persistent fever and positive blood cultures, a transesophageal echocardiography was undertaken, disclosing a large mural vegetation in the right atrium, catheter-associated vegetations, and a patent foramen ovale. Endocarditis is an uncommon source of endogenous endophthalmitis, and has rarely been associated to right-sided endocarditis and paradoxical septic embolization.
