B-mode ultrasound video of a vitrectomized eye reveals characteristic vitreous cavity membranes secondary to endophthalmitis. The real-time imaging demonstrates these inflammatory membranes exhibit semi-rigid dynamics, displaying viscoelastic behavior with limited displacement during ocular movements while maintaining structural integrity. This restricted mobility pattern, showing both resistance to kinetic forces and slow recoil, represents a pathognomonic feature of advanced fibrotic organization in endophthalmitis.
