“…Because of globe hyperintensity on DWI and corresponding hypointensity on ADC mapping are suggesting intra-ocular or subretinal abscess formation (4), they are useful factors for the diagnosis of endogenous endophthalmitis, and hyperintensity on FLAIR imaging also suggests endogenous endophthalmitis. Although the best imaging tool for diagnosis of brain abscess (5), gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted imaging is useless in the diagnosis of endophthalmitis because of the vitreous humor is avascular and an intravitreous abscess may not produce an enhancing wall before the occurrence of inflammatory neovascularization (4,6). In the current case, as mentioned above, DWI, ADC and FLAIR sequences were useful for diagnosing endophthalmitis, and DWI and ADC were also valuable to reach the diagnosis of brain abscess.…”
