| Abstrakt: | Mpox (initially reported as monkeypox virus Clade IIb) ravaged the non-endemic world in 2022 with dermatological and systemic manifestations. The rapid propagation of this virus shed light on the scarcity of information for a virus that was first reported in 1958. We present the first probable neonatal case of mpox with ocular involvement. Ophthalmologists may be the first to diagnose mpox or be a part of the multidisciplinary team required for adequate work-up and treatment to prevent life-long sequelae in the neonatal population.
