HSV infection can affect nearly every ocular tissue. In cases of corneal involvement, the epithelium, stroma, or endothelium may be affected. Both herpes stromal keratitis (HSK) and HSV endotheliitis can present clinically with stromal opacity and, therefore, may be difficult to distinguish. In this case we will be describing a viral endotheliitis with a particular aspect on the corneal endothelium.
