Abstract
We present a case of a man with hepatitis C with acute visual loss in his left eye over a 3-day period. Initial evaluation suggested a possible idiopathic orbital inflammatory syndrome as underlying cause for his symptoms. Initial response to systemic glucocorticoids and antiviral treatment were encouraging with improvement in the patient's visual acuity. After a period of loss to follow up and discontinuation of treatment, the patient re-presented with visual loss in his left eye. Re-evaluation confirmed a diagnosis of marginal zone B-cell lymphoma. This case illustrates the importance of considering the various ocular manifestations of hepatitis C.
