Abstract

Endogenous endophthalmitis is rare and refers to an intraocular inflammatory process that may result from exogenous or endogenous causes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful for diagnosing endophthalmitis, and valuable to reach the diagnosis of brain abscess. We report here the MR findings of simultaneously developed endogenous endophthalmitis and brain abscesses.

내인성안구염은 외부 혹은 내부의 원인으로 인한 안구 내의 염증반응으로 생기는 드문 질환이다. 자기공명영상은 안구염의 진단과 뇌농양의 진단에 모두 유용한 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 내인성안구염과 함께 뇌농양이 동시에 병발된 예가 있어 자기공명영상 소견과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
