Demographics, systemic illness, microbiological profile, surgical intervention, and outcomes were evaluated. Statistical analysis assessed the relationship between risk factors, complications, and outcomes.\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The mean age was 7.5 \u00b1 4.4 years; 17 patients were male, and 17 cases involved the right eye. Systemic illness or intravenous therapy preceded infection in 18 patients (56%). In all cases, surgery was performed within 48 hours of presentation. All eyes underwent pars plana vitrectomy with intravitreal antibiotics and intravitreal antifungal agents. Based on intraoperative assessment and the surgeon\u2019s discretion, silicone oil tamponade was used in 16 eyes. Good functional outcomes (best-corrected visual acuity &gt;20\/400) occurred in 37.5% of patients, while favorable anatomic outcomes were seen in 46.9%. Median vision improved significantly from hand motions to 20\/2400 (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .05). Ocular complications were seen in 53.1%, including retinal detachment (7 eyes), secondary glaucoma (2 eyes), and phthisis bulbi (5 eyes), which were significantly associated with poor outcomes (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .05).
