ABSTRACT
Endophthalmitis is a rare cause of ocular infection that can be associated with immunocompromising conditions and, more rarely, with sickle cell disease. In this case report and review of the literature, we present a case of a young male with sickle cell disease who presented with rapidly progressive ocular pain, edema, erythema, and decreased visual acuity. The key radiological findings to suggest endophthalmitis were demonstrated using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
