Orbital cellulitis with choroidal detachment following strabismus surgery in an adult.
Journal of AAPOS : the Official Publication of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus 2018 August 30
We report the case of a 76-year-old man who presented with left eye pain, eyelid swelling, and restricted extraocular motility 3 days after strabismus surgery. Computed tomography of the orbits did not show drainable abscesses, but magnetic resonance imaging on postoperative day 9 showed choroidal detachment with retrobulbar abscess and dural enhancement despite broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotic use. Following incision and drainage of the abscess, which grew methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, the patient showed improvement in visual acuity, pain, and extraocular motility. This is the first report of choroidal detachment occurring in the setting of orbital cellulitis after strabismus surgery.
