ABSTRACT
Endophthalmitis is a major complication of surgery or trauma that may need an echographic evaluation by a general ophthalmologist in emergency. Echography is also useful for the therapeutic management of endophthalmitis. This review gives a general view of ocular lesions seen in this context (hyalitis, choroidal or retinal detachment, lens dislocation, intraocular foreign body, cellulitis). We describe a practical chart to standardize the echographic evaluation at the initial examination and during the follow-up.
