AIM: To analyze the etiology, treatment and treatment effect of traumatic endophthalmitis.

METHODS:Totally 39 cases traumatic endophthalmitis patients in our hospital from 2010 to 2012 underwent pathogenic examination, and the treatment and treatment effects were analyzed retrospectively.

RESULTS: Pathogens were detected in 18 cases, the total detection rate was 46%(18/39), smear results showed Gram-positive(G⁺)cocci 12 cases, accounting for 67%(12/18), G⁺ bacilli four cases, accounting for 22%(4/18). Visual acuity improved in 20 cases(51%), visual acuity unchanged in 8 cases(21%), visual acuity decreased in 7 cases(18%), visual acuity incoordinate in 4 cases(10%).

CONCLUSION: Traumatic endophthalmitis should underwent as early as possible bacterial culture, clinical treatment, choose different treatment to different conditions, focusing on the prevention of endophthalmitis.
