Article Synopsis
- A case study using multimodal imaging documented a 19-year-old man with dengue fever who experienced sudden vision loss linked to Henle fiber layer hemorrhage (HH) and acute paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM).
- The patient presented with critical visual acuity issues and symptoms indicating systemic dengue fever, with imaging revealing distinct retinal changes compatible with the diagnosed conditions.
- Following treatment with oral steroids, significant improvement in vision occurred after a month, indicating that dengue fever can lead to serious retinal damage that may require careful monitoring despite treatment.
Brilliant blue 0.05% and trypan blue 0.1% were mixed in a proportion of 1:1 in a 1-mL syringe.

Such a compound is characterized by excellent biocompatibility and low cost, which makes it an interesting alternative for treatment. The anophthalmic socket was successfully filled, providing proper esthetic results and favorable conditions for the posterior scleral prosthesis implantation.
