Randomized Controlled TrialIntravitreal dexamethasone as adjuvant in the treatment of postoperative endophthalmitis: a prospective randomized trial.
To study whether intravitreal dexamethasone as adjuvant to intravitreal antibiotics improves the outcome in patients with suspected postoperative bacterial endophthalmitis. ⋯ This small prospective, placebo-controlled series showed a trend towards a better visual outcome in patients with suspected bacterial endophthalmitis when treatment with intravitreal antibiotics was combined with intravitreal dexamethasone. Our findings justify a larger multicenter randomized study.

Case ReportsTraumatic dislocation of the globe into the maxillary sinus associated with extraocular muscle injury.
The mechanism of complete dislocation of an intact globe into the maxillary sinus after an extensive blowout fracture has not been clearly documented. ⋯ This case demonstrates that the globe can be dislocated into the maxillary sinus following orbital wall fracture associated with extraocular muscle injury, and provides a clue into the mechanism underlying dislocation of the globe into the maxillary sinus.
