Summary
We report of a case of retinitis septica in a 37-years old man one month after his tooth’s extraction. Because of decreased right eye’s central vision and a presence of typical retinal Roth’s spots we called internists for a possibility of bacterial endocarditis. Cardiologic examination confirmed this disease together with aortal valve’s defect. The course of hearth’s disease was weary heavy, with attack of septic fever and cardial decompensation. After acute stage control, defocusation and antibiotic therapy, he underwent a surgical intervention with exchange of aortal valve.
Key words:
Roth’s spots, septic endocarditis, aortal valve’s defect, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography (FAG)
