Abstract

We present the case of a patient who entered the former Provincial Teaching Clinical Surgical Hospital “José Ramón López Tabrane”, of Matanzas. The cause of admission was a sudden right ocular proptosis in the course of an HIV-AIDS infection-disease.  Many different studies were carried out to define the cause, and although he was timely treated, he died 15 days after the treatment. The AIDS epidemic is still growing around the world. The knowledge of ocular manifestations, the alterations of the anterior segment as much as the alterations of the posterior one, and the associated infections allow a higher possibility of preserving the visual function in these patients.
