title: Dendritic keratopathy in ocular rosacea.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of dendritic keratopathy secondary to ocular rosacea in a 62-year-old man.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We discuss the ophthalmologic findings, management, and course in a patient with an unusual dendritic corneal lesion resistant to medical therapy. Other causes of dendritic lesions on the cornea were ruled out after investigation. The patient experienced symptomatic and objective improvement in the lesion with treatment of ocular rosacea.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case represents an interesting presentation of rosacea with dendritic keratopathy associated with typical skin lesions.
