title: [Post-varicella disciform keratitis].
abstract: Varicella disciform stromal keratitis is rare. It occurs several weeks or months after the skin rash. We report 4 cases in children, two of whom developed one or more recurrent episodes. Treatment based on local steroids was long and difficult to dose. One case treated with oral aciclovir did not show a better clinical course than the other patients.
