Title	Bilateral retrocorneal plaques as a manifestation of herpetic keratouveitis: A case report

Purpose	To describe a case of herpetic keratouveitis manifesting with bilateral retrocorneal plaques.
Methods	A case report
Results	A 17-year-old patient presented with sudden bilateral redness, photophobia and decreased vision for 4 days. Visual acuity was limited to counting fingers in both eyes. Slit-lamp examination showed perikeratic congestion, keratic precipitates, folds of the Descemet membrane with multiple white retrocorneal plaques, 2+ anterior chamber cells, and posterior synechiae in both eyes. Vitreous and fundus examination was unremarkable in both eyes. Investigational work up was negative. Clinical findings were consistent with the diagnosis of herpetic keratouveitis. The patient was treated with oral antiviral drugs and topical steroids. On follow up, the retrocorneal plaques and inflammatory signs resolved gradually. Visual acuity improved to 20/20 in both eyes.
Conclusion	Herpetic keratouveitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of retrocorneal plaques.
Conflict of interest	No
