    Panophthalmitis with orbital cellulitis following glaucoma drainage implant surgery in a pediatric patient
    (Consel Brasil Oftalmologia, 2016) Esporcatte, Bruno L. B. [UNIFESP]; Teixeira, Luiz Fernando [UNIFESP]; Rolim-de-Moura, Christiane [UNIFESP]
    Here we report a case of childhood glaucoma refractory to angle and trabeculectomy surgery. The patient was treated with an Ahmed (TM) drainage implant that was subsequently complicated by rapid-onset panophthalmitis and orbital cellulitis. Intravenous and intravitreal antibiotic therapy was initiated and the drainage tube was removed. The infectious process resolved within 3 weeks; however, phthisis bulbi developed subsequently.
