Özet: Measles is characterized by a pronounced exanthema, pathognomonic enanthema accompanied by cough, fever, and conjunctivitis. A 2-year-old girl was presented to ophthalmology department by her family with whitening and vision loss in her eyes in Mogadishu - Somalia. Retinal and vitreous layers were normal in both eyes on B-scan ultrasound. Intraocular pressure was 34 mmHg bilaterally. Bilateral ocular hypertension and deep vascularized corneal leukoma were diagnosed. This is the first case in the literature that developed bilateral ocular hypertension and deep vascularized leukoma after measles. Children are more susceptible to the severity and side effects of measles, especially in infancy. We recommend vaccination to prevent post-disease complications in young children.
