    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Virology

    Background:

    • The cornea's response to toxic stimuli can manifest as swelling and ulceration.
    • Dendriform or arborescent patterns in corneal pathology are indicative of specific etiological agents.

    Observation:

    • A clinical case of herpes simplex dendritic keratitis is presented.
    • The characteristic dendriform lesion is a key diagnostic feature.

    Findings:

    • Herpes simplex virus is a primary cause of dendritic keratitis.
    • Differential diagnosis of arborescent keratitis includes various infectious and non-infectious etiologies.

    Implications:

    • Accurate differentiation of arborescent keratitis is crucial for appropriate management.
    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment of herpes simplex dendritic keratitis can prevent vision-threatening complications.
