Ocular complications can occur from Mpox infection and are increasingly being reported, with the rise in worldwide cases. There are few reports of Mpox outside of endemic areas in healthy children. We describe a healthy girl with Mpox who presented with ocular symptoms after experiencing trauma to the eye; this case highlights a pediatric case of Mpox localized to the eye and periorbital region. In the absence of a prodromal phase, the ocular signs and symptoms were initially thought to represent more common, benign etiologies. This case underscores the importance of considering Mpox, even in the absence of known exposures or in the setting of an atypical presentation.
猴痘感染可引发眼部并发症，且随着全球病例数的增加，此类报告也日益增多。在非流行地区，健康儿童感染猴痘的报告较少。我们描述了一名感染猴痘的健康女孩，她在眼部遭受创伤后出现了眼部症状；该病例凸显了一例局限于眼部和眶周区域的儿童猴痘病例。在没有前驱期的情况下，眼部体征和症状最初被认为是更常见的良性病因。即使在没有已知暴露史或非典型表现的情况下，该病例也强调了考虑猴痘的重要性。
