摘要：

It is usual to consider chicken pox as a benign infectious disease with a few anterior segment ocular complications like conjunctivitis, keratitis, episcleritis, scleritis, iridocyclitis, and glaucoma. The retinal manifestations are necrotising retinitis, vitritis, neuroretinitis, and retinal detachments. We report a case of neuroretinitis following chicken pox in a 23-year-old male. The complication was resolved by treatment with oral acyclovir in combination with systemic steroids. This report highlights the necessity for fundus examination in cases of chickenpox exhibiting visual symptoms.
