Abstract

A 5-year-old intact female Maltese, a 4-year-old neutered male Chihuahua, and a 5-year-old neutered male Maltese were referred to Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University for assessment of traumatic corneal laceration accompanied by anterior lens capsule disruption by cat claw. Severe uveitis, hypopyon, fibrinous exudate, diffuse corneal edema, and/or glaucoma were observed. B-mode ocular ultrasound showed lens capsule rupture and hyperechoic lens in all three cases. Despite aggressive treatments, the three eyes continued to deteriorate with endophthalmitis, leading to enucleation. Septic implantation syndrome associated with phakitis, severe pyogranulomatous endophthalmitis, and keratitis was confirmed by histopathological examination.
