Endophtalmie endogène bactérienne sur abcès dentaire : à propos d'un cas

This case shows that EBE can occur in the absence of predisposing factors but with an extraocular infectious focus as simple as a dental abscess. In the absence of associated septicemia, with the involved tooth superior and ipsilateral to the affected eye, a spread of the infection by retrograde venous flow should be suspected. The prognosis for visual function may be good if early diagnosis and immediate treatment can be provided.
