Source of Inflammation
• Exogenous:
Sources originate outside the eye and body[e.g., local ocular physical injury (surgical trauma, penetrating and
perforating nonsurgical trauma, and radiant energy); chemical injuries (acid and alkali); and allergic reactions to
external antigens (conjunctivitis secondary to pollen)].
• Endogenous:
Sources originate in the eye [e.g., inflammation secondary to cellular immunity (phacoanaphylactic endophthalmitis);
spread from contiguous structures (the sinuses); hematogenous spread (virus, bacteria, fungus, and foreign particle);
and conditions of unknown cause (sarcoidosis)].

Clinical Features
• Severe ocular congestion, chemosis, and haziness of the cornea, aqueous, and vitreous are characteristic a purulent
exudate, frequently visible as a hypopyon, may be present in the anterior chamber.
• Pain is prominent in both conditions but especially in panophthalmitis.
• Extension into orbital tissue often results in congestion and edema of the lids and even exophthalmos.
• The cause may be infectious or noninfectious.

Classifications
• Exogenous
Infectious keratitis and corneal ulcers may cause a reflex sterile suppurative iridocyclitis and hypopyon
Nonsurgical penetrating or perforating trauma may lead to the presence of a contaminated or sterile intraocular
foreign body, producing a suppurative inflammation.
Postoperative suppurative inflammation in the first day or two after surgery is usually purulent, fulminating,
and caused by bacteria.
1. Delayed (e.g., a month or two after intraocular surgery) endophthalmitis suggests a fungal infection.
2. A bacterial infection is also a possible cause of delayed endophthalmitis, especially with less virulent
bacteria such as Staphylococcus epidermidis and Propionibacterium acnes

• Endogenous
Metastatic septic emboli, especially in children or debilitated persons, may occur in subacute bacterial
endocarditis, meningococcemia, or other infections associated with a bacteremia, viremia, or fungemia.
Necrosis of an intraocular neoplasm, particularly retinoblastoma, may rarely result in a suppurative
endophthalmitis or even panophthalmitis.
