Pinpoint size port d’Entrée as a predictor for better clinical outcome in pediatric endophthalmitis: A case series

Endophthalmitis is an intraocular inflammation involving both posterior and anterior segments, caused by bacterial or fungal infections. Here, we present a case series of five cases presented to the National Referral Hospital from January December 2017. Five eyes were identified, including exogenous endogenous odontogenic causes. All managed with vitrectomy, intravitreal antibiotics, systemic antibiotics. Documented final best VA 20/40 (20%), 1/300 (40%), no light perception phthisis bulbi (40%). Despite aggressive timely treatments, visual prognosis are poor in endophthalmitis. The 6/12 was found smallest port d’entrée size (pinpoint). Other characteristics did not show any significant clinical difference. Pinpoint smaller suggests better outcomes pediatric
