Transhepatic Drainage

It is about an exceptional case of endogenous endophthalmitis secondary to a liver abscess due to Klebsiella pneumonia. The patient was a 50-year-old female, who was admitted for fever and right upper quadrant abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography showed an abscess measured 8 cm and located in segment 7 of the liver. It was treated by antibiotics and percutaneous transhepatic drainage. Pus sample was positive for Klebsiella pneumoniae. On day 3 after admission, patient complained of a red left eye with decreased vision. The diagnosis of endogenous endophthalmitis was strongly suspected. An Early treatment was initiated with a good evolution. The syndrome Endophthalmitis-hepatic abscess is an exceptional syndrome rarely reported in the literature. It must evoked in case of hepatic abscess caused by klebsiella pneumonia.

Background: Community-acquired pyogenic liver abscesses due to Klebsiella pneumoniae is increasingly recognized across the world with more incidence in East Asian countries. Cases of endogenous endophthalmitis secondary to pyogenic liver abscesses with K1 serotype K. pneumoniae have been reported in the literature. We report a case of endogenous panophthalmitis along with cerebellar abscess occurring in a newly diagnosed diabetic patient secondary to pyogenic liver abscess. Case presentation: A middle-aged male of east Asian descent presented with sudden onset right eye vision loss associated with fever. Workup revealed newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus, panophthalmitis, cerebellar abscess, and pyogenic liver abscess due to K. pneumoniae. The patient, unfortunately, underwent right eye evisceration. Conclusion: Endogenous panophthalmitis due to K. pneumoniae is a fatal complication and can result in blindness. Multiple foci of infection can be present in such cases. Thorough workup, prompt antibiotics as well as surgical treatment may improve prognosis.
