2022年11月11日 · Hypopyon may be seen without the slit lamp as a white deposit in the inferior anterior chamber (Figure 38.2). Slit lamp examination, notably the presence of cells and flare (Figure 38.1), is the key to evaluation of anterior uveitis. Inflammatory deposits on the corneal endothelium, known as keratic precipitates, may be noted on slit lamp exam.

A leukocytic exudate, seen in the anterior chamber on slit-lamp exam A sign of inflammation of the anterior uvea and iris The exudate settles at the dependent aspect of the eye due to gravity

A comprehensive eye examination using a slit lamp is often the first step in diagnosing hypopyon. This tool allows ophthalmologists to visualize the anterior chamber and identify the presence of pus. Laboratory Tests

This photo shows a small hypopyon (layer of pus) in the anterior chamber of an eye that has undergone a glaucoma tube-shunt surgery.
