We report the case of a 46-year-old female patient who presented with bilateral acute angle closure during the course of dengue infection. Dengue diagnosis was confirmed by serological tests. The patient had plateau iris configuration identified by ultrasound biomicroscopy. This is the second reported case with this condition during dengue fever and the first to describe the characteristics of the angle.
