Panophthalmitis is an acute, purulent inflammation of the eyeball that involves all its structures and extends into the orbit. A case of a fifty-seven year old male treated earlier due to glaucoma and trophic ulcus of the cornea, was presented in this paper. He was admitted to hospital with intensive orbital pain and redness of the right eye, elevated body temperature, bulbus protrusion with limited movement, chemosis, edematous cornea, hypopyon, iris of invisible drawing and relief. The ocular fundus was not visible. At the admittance, amaurosis of the right eye was present as well as spontaneous cornea perforation. The patient was treated with antibiotic, corticosteroid, analgesic and antiglaucomatous therapy. Intravitreal administration of antibiotics was impossible due to spontaneous cornea perforation. The patient was discharged from the hospital in a good general condition. The condition of the right eye was stable, there was no danger of eye loss, while infection of the same eye was cured.
