CMV corneal endotheliitis typically presents with coin-shaped or linear keratic precipitates (KPs), corneal edema, mild anterior chamber inflammation, and recurrent intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation; persistent or episodic ocular hypertension may progress to glaucomatous optic neuropathy if inadequately treated. Definitive diagnosis relies on aqueous humor polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for CMV DNA, supported by adjunctive imaging including specular microscopy, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), and in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM). Management requires a comprehensive strategy integrating antiviral therapy, anti-inflammatory treatment, and appropriate IOP control. Topical or systemic ganciclovir remains the cornerstone, while refractory disease may necessitate surgical intervention. Older age and male sex, host immune status, prolonged or recurrent CMV infection, and pre-existing ocular conditions are major risk factors for progression and poor outcomes. The pathogenesis of secondary glaucoma is thought to involve both direct viral cytopathic effects and inflammation-mediated damage to the trabecular meshwork (TM), resulting in impaired aqueous outflow. Therefore, early recognition, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment are essential to prevent corneal decompensation and permanent vision loss.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens15040371","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,31]],"date-time":"2026-03-31T16:34:08Z","timestamp":1774974848000},"page":"371","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Cytomegalovirus Infection of the Anterior Segment: Corneal Endotheliitis and Secondary Glaucoma"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Fan","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Science, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Tokyo 113-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1359-8198","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yaru","family":"Zou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Science, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Tokyo 113-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingming","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Science, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Tokyo 113-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3124-1101","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Science, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Tokyo 113-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyoko","family":"Ohno-Matsui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Science, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Tokyo 113-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Koju","family":"Kamoi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Science, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Tokyo 113-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kobayashi, R., and Hashida, N.
