Acute angle-closure glaucoma with choroidal effusion revealing a hantavirus infection: Description of ultrasound biomicroscopy imagery and optical coherence tomography Visante.

To report a case of bilateral angle-closure associated with systemic hantavirus infection.A 32-year-old Caucasian man was referred with blurred vision, fever, cough, dyspnea and thrombocytopenia. Ophthalmologic examination revealed myopic shift, elevated intraocular pressure (30 mmHg right eye and 24 mmHg left eye), corneal edema, iridocorneal angle closure and shallow anterior chamber. Ciliochoroidal effusion was detected on anterior segment optical coherence tomography and ultrasound biomicroscopy. Serologic test and polymerase chain reaction confirmed the diagnosis of hantavirus infection and the serotype Puumala. On the sixth day after he started topical anti-glaucoma and cycloplegic medications, the anterior chamber and iridocorneal angles were normalized with disappearance of ciliochoroidal effusion.Puumala hantavirus infection is an exceptional cause of acute bilateral angle-closure combined with ciliochoroidal effusion.
