Abstract
This is a case report of the use of Eckardt keratoprosthesis for pars plana vitrectomy in a patient with endophthalmitis and suppurative keratitis that developed after cataract surgery. A 79-year-old woman developed acute-onset infectious endophthalmitis and suppurative keratitis after cataract surgery that failed to respond to treatment with antibiotic eye drops and intravitreal antibiotic injection. Using a temporary keratoprosthesis which enabling sufficient visualization, vitrectomy was performed, followed by therapeutic keratoplasty using a cryopreserved donor cornea. The patient's vision was improved from light perception to counting fingers at 30 cm, 3 months postoperatively. There was no recurrence of infection or other significant complications.
