Hutchinson’s sign of ophthalmic zoster

Abstract

Abstract A 77‐year‐old woman presented with ophthalmic zoster and nasal tip involvement, consistent with Hutchinson's sign. Ocular examination disclosed a swollen upper eyelid, chemosis, conjunctival injection, pus, and mild corneal endothelial decompensation. The presence of Hutchinson's sign requires urgent consultation with an ophthalmologist due to the high risk of ocular complications.
