Herpes zoster ophthalmicus associated with delayed retinal thrombophlebitis

R J Hesse. Am J Ophthalmol. 1977 Sep.

Abstract

A 58-year-old woman developed typical herpes zoster ophthalmicus associated with delayed retinal thrombophlebitis and subsequent vitreous hemorrhage. Fluorescein angiography confirmed a diagnosis of thrombophlebitis and demonstrated sparing of the arteriolar circulation. The retinopathy cleared spontaneously and visual acuity returned to 6/6 (20/20).
