A Case of Bilateral Endogenous Enterococcus Faecalis Endophthalmitis in Liver Abscess

Purpose: To report a case of bilateral endogenous Enterococcus faecalis endophthalmitis in liver abscess. Methods: The patient was transferred for bilateral endophthalmitis because she had decreased bilateral visual acuity for three days. We performed bilateral pars plana vitrectomy, lensectomy, and intravitreal antibiotic injection. We determined the presence of Enterococcus faecalis in vitreous culture and liver abscess using abdomen computerized tomography. Results: Thirty-four days after the operation, she was discharged with both eyes with flat retina and filled with silicone oil. Her vision was poor. Conclusions: Bilateral endogenous Enterococcus faecalis endophthalmitis has rapid progression and a poor visual prognosis.
