INTRODUCTION: Conjunctival geographic ulcer is a rare manifestation of ocular herpes simplex. Geographic ulcers are formed when sloughing of the epithelium occurs in the areas between the dendrite and a broad area of epithelial involvement with irregular angulated borders is formed.
CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of primary ocular herpes with blepharitis and geographic ulceration of the conjunctiva in an 8-year-old male with no corneal lesion. To the best of our knowledge only 4 cases of conjunctival herpetic dendritic ulcerations and a single case of herpetic geographical ulcer have been reported in literature till date.
CONCLUSION: This is a rare clinical presentation of primary ocular herpes and ophthalmologists need to be aware and vigilant of this, as one of the myriad manifestations of primary ocular herpes, thereby providing appropriate therapy/treatment.
