                        Resumen:
                        Purpose: To analyze functional and anatomical results of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) to treat endophthalmitis in eyes with osteokeratoprosthesis. Methods: An observational, retrospective study of five eyes suffering from endophthalmitis, after an osteokeratoprosthesis implantation, which underwent PPV associated with intravitreal antibiotics. The minimum follow-up after PPV was 6 months. A descriptive study and a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis for anatomical (attached retina during the follow-up) and functional success (visual acuity >= 20/400) were performed. Results: Best-corrected visual acuity during the final follow-up was 20/100 in 1 case (20%), hand movement in another case (20%), and no light perception in 3 cases (60%). The anatomical survival rates were recorded at 80%, 60%, and 40% at 1, 6, and 8 months respectively, and this last value was maintained at 12 months after PPV. The functional survival rates were recorded at 40% and 20% at 1 month and 8 months, respectively, and this last value was maintained at 12 months after PPV. Conclusion: Endophthalmitis in eyes with previous osteokeratoprosthesis is a very severe complication with a reserved prognosis. Pars plana vitrectomy associated with intravitreal antibiotics leads to maintaining or increasing visual acuity in a small proportion of patients who otherwise would end up blind.
