Dengue fever is common in the tropics and its clinical manifestations and complications are well-known. However, dengue-related ocular complications are rare. Here we present a postpartum female who complained of bilateral central scotoma, at five days after the clinical diagnosis of dengue fever. The ocular examination was suggestive of dengue maculopathy and foveolitis. She was treated with a combination of intravenous methylprednisolone and immunoglobulin. The final visual recovery was good.
