Panophthalmitis Secondary to Septic Arthritis of the Knee - Case Report
D'Addino Jose, Paredes Julieta, Grosso Cristina
Abstract: Septic arthritis is a rare disease but with a very poor prognosis due to the functional sequelae it entails and possible associated complications, including patient death. Unusually, it may be associated with ocular septic emboli. A 55 - year - old male patient with septic arthritis of the right knee is presented, who, in the context of comorbidities such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and hypertension, developed left panophthalmitis. The knee was drained three times and, as a consequence of a septic focus in the eye, evisceration of the left eye was performed. After 8 weeks of hospitalization, he evolved favorably and was discharged.
