Endoftalmitis

La endoftalmitis es un proceso inflamatorio de las capas internas del ojo, que puede ser infeccioso o estéril.

It commonly manifests in young women as tender, erythematous nodules on the shins. Erythema Nodosum tipos endógena y exógena. La endoftalmitis exógena se produce a través de la inoculación directa de organismos infecciosos durante la cirugía de cataratas, el traumatismo ocular o la inyección intravítrea.

La endoftalmitis estéril puede ser el resultado de toxinas o de material del cristalino retenido después de una operación ocular. Las características clínicas varían según el tipo y la evolución de la enfermedad. Las características pueden incluir disminución de la visión, inyección conjuntival, dolor Dolor Inflammation ocular, hipopión y edema Edema Edema is a condition in which excess serous fluid accumulates in the body cavity or interstitial space of connective tissues.
