Abstract:
Dengue fever presents with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from fever, rash, myalgia to myocarditis, encephalitis, etc. However, severe ocular involvement in dengue is less frequent, but if it occurs it can have devastating and long-lasting effects such as permanent vision loss. We present the case of a 35-year-old male with dengue fever complicated by acute, painful vision loss in the right eye and was diagnosed with acute congestive glaucoma leading to panophthalmitis. Timely diagnosis and prompt intervention in the form of enucleation of the affected eye saved his vision in the unaffected left eye.
