Acute ocular hypotony as a manifestation of mumps. A case report.

A 27-year-old woman with epidemic parotitis developed acute hypotony in her right eye. This complication is not mentioned in earlier reports concerning this disease. She also suffered from keratitis and iritis. The inflammatory reaction of the anterior eye subsided on topical medication, but the hypotony persisted for two weeks. Factors possibly influencing the low intraocular tension are discussed.
