Liver abscesses are the most common type of visceral abscess, which accounts for around one half of all visceral abscesses. Rarely, the liver abscess can metastasize to distant organs and diabetes mellitus is an important risk factor for septic metastasis. We here present one such rare case of chorioretinal abscess in a diabetic male with pyogenic liver abscess. A 54-year-old diabetic male presented with the complaints of fever, pain abdomen and blurring lasting for one week. After detailed evaluation, he was diagnosed to have pyogenic liver abscess with chorioretinal abscess. He was treated with parenteral and topical antibiotic for eyes, strict glycemic control and ultrasound guided aspiration of liver abscess. The patient symptomatically improved and improvement in vision was also noted.
