    Abstract:
    A 61-year-old male patient presented with decreased vision and recurrent redness in his right eye since the past 4 years. He had been diagnosed elsewhere as HLA-B27 positive anterior uveitis and was on oral methotrexate and topical corticosteroids for recurrent disease. He was on maximal medical therapy for glaucoma. Examination showed prominent inferior corneal oedema with pigmented keratic precipitates and elevated intraocular pressure. He underwent combined trabeculectomy with mitomycin C and cataract surgery. The aqueous sample tested positive for cytomegalovirus. He responded well to oral valganciclovir with resolution of uveitis, the intraocular pressure was well controlled and the corneal oedema resolved completely.
