Pseudomonal choroidal abscess after routine pars plana vitrectomy in an immunosuppressed patient
Conclusion:
Isolated choroidal bacterial abscess is a possible, but rare, complication of pars plana vitrectomy. Although visual prognosis is poor, especially for pseudomonal choroidal abscesses, aggressive treatment with timely choroidal drainage, systemic antibiotics, and intravitreal antibiotics may allow recovery of some ambulatory vision.
