Purpose: To describe a case with an unusual presentation of Propionibacterium acnes(P acnes) with ultimately a good visual outcome.Methods: A case report with review of approaches to P acnesendophthalmitis.Results: We describe a patient with an unusual presentation of P acnesof panuveitis with white, circular preretinal lesions without intracapsular deposits. Diagnosis was made from cultures from pars plana vitrectomy. Eventually, she was definitively managed with capsulectomy, repositioning of her intraocular lens via sutureless intrascleral fixation, and intravitreal vancomycin injection.Conclusion: This is a report of P acnesendophthalmitis presenting with discrete preretinal lesions where surgical and medical management lead to a complete resolution of uveitis and symptoms after a 3-year follow up where the patient’s final visual acuity was Snellen 20/20 OU.
