  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 67-year-old female developed herpes zoster ophthalmicus in her right forehead. Visual impairment in the right eye set in 5 days later. The optic disc in the affected eye was hyperemic and swollen. Perimetry showed central scotoma and enlarged blind spot. There was elevated antibody titers for varicella zoster virus in the serum and the cerebrospinal fluid. She was immediately treated by systemic acyclovir and, later, by corticosteroid. Her visual acuity improved from the initial value of 0.5 to 1.0. Central scotoma also disappeared. The case illustrates the possible efficiency of antiviral agent and corticosteroid for optic neuritis secondary to varicella zoster ophthalmicus.
