Abstract:
Acute retrobulbar neuritis occurred 24 days after an episode of Herpes zoster ophthalmicus in an otherwise healthy, 19-year-old man. Profound visual loss with consecutive optic atrophy ensued. Neurologic evaluation was normal and supported the presumptive diagnosis of parainfectious Herpes zoster retrobulbar neuritis.
