Abstract
An 18-year-old young boy hospitalized with the diagnosis of acute viral meningo-encephalitis presented with the complaint of diminution of vision and floaters in both eyes for a week. Herpetic infection was confirmed with the cerebro-spinal fluid analysis and was under antiviral drugs. His presenting visual acuity was 20/80 in both eyes and ocular features were suggestive of FBA. The vitreous sample analysis revealed raised toxoplasma titre so intravitreal clindamycin was administered twice. The ocular features resolved in the subsequent follow ups with intravenous antiviral treatment and intravitreal antitoxoplasma treatment. FBA is a very rare clinical syndrome secondary to many immunological or pathological causes. So, possible etiologies must be ruled out for timely management and good visual prognosis.
