Figure 1  

Fundus photograph of the preretinal `hypopyon', right eye. Large yellow white preretinal `hypopyon' obscuring the superotemporal retinal vessels. Vessels above this are completely or partially sheathed and have an overlying preretinal exudation and vitritis.

Figure 2  .

Figure 2  

Fluorescein angiogram at 14.5 seconds shows a marked leak from the disc and tortuous, irregular vessels in the superotemporal fundus with perivascular leakage of fluorescein.

Figure 3  .

Figure 3  

Fluorescein angiogram at 31.7 seconds shows increased hyperfluorescence in the superotemporal fundus and blocks fluorescence above the macula.

Figure 4  .

Figure 4  

Fluorescein angiogram at 193.9 seconds shows a further increase in the hyperfluorescence, now setting down into the area of the hypopyon.

Figure 5  .

Figure 5  

Fundus photograph of the right eye a week after penicillin therapy. There are localised, white preretinal infiltrates seen scattered over the temporal and superotemporal fundus. Narrowing and sheathing of both arterioles and venules is present above the superotemporal arcade. The disc is still congested and oedematous.
