Abstract. Purpose:To report a case of cytomegalovirus corneal endotheliitis that responded to topical and systemic ganciclovir. Case:A 45-year-old male presented with corneal edema in the left eye since 3 months before. The left eye had attacks of elevated intraocular pressure(IOP)and had been diagnosed with Posner-Schlossman syndrome. Findings:Corrected visual acuity was 1.2 right and 0.9 left. IOP was 13 mmHg right and 30 mmHg left. The left cornea showed edema in the upper quadrant with keratic precipitates. The aqueous humor showed cytomegalovirus DNA when processed by PCR. The left eye was treated by topical and intravenous ganciclovir. The cornea became transparent and IOP normalized 2 weeks later. Conclusion:This case illustrates that tapping of aqueous and processing by PCR may be effective in the diagnosis of cytomegalovirus corneal endotheliitis and that it may respond to topical and systemic ganciclovir.
