To report the unusual case of an immunocompetent individual with herpes zoster ophthalmicus who developed central retinal artery occlusion and subsequent neovascular glaucoma.
A 40-year-old, immunocompetent patient was diagnosed with herpes zoster ophthalmicus and central retinal artery occlusion on initial presentation. Subsequently, he developed neovascular glaucoma.
There are a few case reports of central retinal artery occlusion developing after varicella zoster virus infection. However, a literature search found no reports of neovascular glaucoma following central retinal artery occlusion secondary to varicella zoster virus infection. The present case report indicates that neovascular glaucoma is a possible complication in such a scenario.
报告一例免疫功能正常的带状疱疹性眼炎患者发生视网膜中央动脉阻塞及随后出现新生血管性青光眼的罕见病例。
一名40岁免疫功能正常的患者初诊时被诊断为带状疱疹性眼炎和视网膜中央动脉阻塞。随后，他发展为新生血管性青光眼。
有一些水痘-带状疱疹病毒感染后发生视网膜中央动脉阻塞的病例报告。然而，文献检索未发现水痘-带状疱疹病毒感染继发视网膜中央动脉阻塞后出现新生血管性青光眼的报告。本病例报告表明，在这种情况下新生血管性青光眼是一种可能的并发症。
