| description | A 60-year-old male patient presented with decreased visual acuity, photophobia and redness in the left eye. Slit-lamp examination revealed
diffuse large mutton-fat keratic precipitates (KPs) and a line which was parallel to the limbus in the peripheral corneal endothelium
developed from KPs. A diagnosis of herpetic keratouveitis was made by clinical examination and laboratory work up. The patient was
treated with systemic acyclovir, topical acyclovir, and topical steroid. The findings were resolved with therapy. (Turk J Oph thal mol 2012;
