DOI : 10.37844/glauc.cat.2020.15.33 Findings of acute glaucoma crisis was detected in a patient who previously diagnosed as a glaucoma secondary to herpetic keratouveitis and given medical treatment in an another facility. The patient was receiving treatment for herpes virus infection in addition to maximum antiglaucomatous treatment. The biomicroscopic examination, gonioscopy, and anterior segment optical coherence tomography imaging were considered as acute glaucoma crisis due to primary angle closure and the treatment was re-arranged accordingly. Intraocular pressure was decreased while corneal edema was resolved by treatment; thus, YAG laser iridotomy was performed on day 4. Here, acute angle closure glaucoma diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment were discussed in the context of a case with acute angle closure glaucoma misdiagnosed as herpetic keratouveitis. Keywords : Angle closure glaucoma, Herpetic keratouveitis, Laser iridotomy, Pilocarpine
