Post Traumatic Endophthalmitis A Mini Review

OpenAlex · English

Post-traumatic endophthalmitis comprises 25-30% of all endophthalmitis cases. Post-traumatic endophthalmitis is an important clinical condition that may have serious anatomical and functional consequences. The type of pathogenic microorganism, nature of the injury, the presence of a foreign body, and the geographical region in which the trauma occurred are all important factors influencing both treatment and prognosis. Unlike postoperative endophthalmitis, there is not a confirmed treatment protocol recommended by the Endophthalmitis-Vitrectomy Study Group in traumatic cases. In this study, we examine the incidence, risk factors, diagnosis, microbiological features, and treatment principles of post-traumatic endophthalmitis in order to guide clinicians who often encounter eye trauma related to this potential complication.
