Postoperative findings for a patient with Corynebacterium endophthalmitis after Baerveldt glaucoma implant surgery. a. Tube exposure (arrow) due to the dehiscence of the overlying conjunctiva and erosion of the scleral patch graft in the inferonasal quadrant of the right eye. b. Plaque (arrowhead) surrounding the root of the tube in the anterior chamber. c. Tube tucked temporarily into the subconjunctival space (arrow). d. Tube reinserted nasally into the anterior chamber and covered with donor sclera and a free conjunctival autograft. e. No recurrence of infection or tube erosion at 28 months after tube reinsertion. The patient’s best-corrected visual acuity was 20/50, and intraocular pressure was 12 mmHg in his right eye
