Abstract. Purpose:To report a case of herpes zoster ophthalmicus presenting acute dacryoadenitis as the initial manifestation. Case:An 82-year-old female presented with right periocular pain since 2 days before. Her right eye showed hyperemia and swelling with no eruption. Findings by magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)were suggestive of acute dacryoadenitis and led to systemic treatment with antibiotics. Swelling of lacrimal gland exacerbated 4 days later. The right eye showed punctate lesions in the corneal epithelium and signs of inflammation in the anterior chamber 2 days later. Treatment with antiviral medications was started. Herpes zoster ophthalmicus was diagnosed another 2 days later after the right forehead showed rash with scarring and erosion. Signs of dacryoadenitis,inflammation in the anterior chamber and skin lesions subsided 15 days after her initial visit. Conclusion:This case illustrates that herpes zoster ophthalmicus may manifest,initially,signs of acute dacryoadenitis resistant to antibiotics without typical rash or ocular manifestations.
